Anne and Eric's place was perfect - spacious but cozy with lots of quintessential Portland character. You do have to walk through their front door and kitchen to get to the basement apartment but once there, you have plenty of privacy. Having laundry was super convenient since this was one stop in a 3-city vacation for us. No kitchen but that was a nonissue since there were so many restaurants we wanted to try. Plenty of parking in this quiet neighborhood that's no more than 15-20 minute drive from most of the things we wanted to do. Their daughter is also adorable!
