Staying with David and Ali was wonderful. They were very accommodating of our late-ish arrival time. Within their space, you have everything you may need - bathroom, kitchenette complete with fridge, coffeemaker, electric tea kettle, and provisions (coffee/tea/oatmeal), and two spacious bedrooms. The price is also very affordable for what you get in this space.

Extra touches that put it over the top: David and Ali prepared a visitors book with house information, restaurant recommendations, and other nice-to-know information. They also have a great selection of books to read during your stay.

Above and beyond: We visited Portland on the first hot weekend of the year. David pulled the fans out of storage and helped us get them set up when we arrived. David and Ali also provided an additional fan the next day, anticipating our need for additional cooling, which was very much appreciated.

As an introvert, I was concerned that this space was within David and Ali's home and not a traditional separate space. This was not an issue at all. While being very helpful and friendly, David and Ali we cool about us coming and going as we pleased.

Overall, I very much enjoyed the experience of staying with David and Ali and would recommend staying there to anyone who asked. I will also keep it in mind for future trips to Portland.
