Richard's space is roomy, clean, and quaint. the house and grounds are very serene and beautiful as is the neighborhood. as a host, we were more than well taken care of. there are plenty of great spots to eat and shop nearby, favorites including sterling's, ken's bar west, and st jack. one would be remiss without visiting washington park nearby, especially the japanese garden. overall for our first getaway from san francisco to portland, this place had it all, even car rental conveniently nearby for longer legs. thanks Richard for all !
