David's basement suite was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Portland. The location was absolutely wonderful. Having never been to Portland, we weren't sure what to expect; However, we really feel that we lucked out with this place. Division street had plenty to do. We did venture downtown and over to Hawthorne area, but inevitably we found everything we wanted on Division street. The best part was the Nike Biketown bikes that made everything easily accessible. These bikes were located 3.5 blocks from David's place and we used them to get everywhere. It was about a 10 minute ride to the river or Hawthorne street, and about a 25 minute leisure bike ride to downtown Pearl district.
David's basement suite had everything we required for our trip. It was large, welcoming and comfortable. David was very accommodating and easy to contact throughout each stage of our trip. The internet seemed to be quite patchy within the unit; However, David did everything he could to help us get a connection (which ended up working with an ethernet cable). Since the suite was located in the basement of his family home, there were times where we could hear the family upstairs quite easily (therefore assuming they could probably hear us at times at well). David's family was good at retiring to the upper part of the house during sleeping hours, but we were able to hear the family getting ready for school/work in the mornings.
All in all, our stay at David's place was great. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others looking to stay in Portland.
