Probably some of the best hospitality I’ve encountered, and one of the best homes I’ve ever stayed at. When we first arrived, there was a welcome sign on our front door with our names on it!
Portland doesn’t usually get very hot. Unfortunately, the weekend were visiting Portland was having a heat wave, and they weren’t set to have their a/c unit installed until next week. Fortunately, Mary and her partner had plenty of fans already set up and the windows open before we arrived in the evening.
Plenty of things to do/visit within walking distance, we had yummy Mexican Tortas at Güero, and hearty German food/beers at Stammtisch. We got some coffee and pastries at Crema. We didn’t have a car for most of our trip but we’re able to catch the bus, within 5 mins, on Burnside or Glisan. The bus runs every 15 mins to go downtown so it was easy to go shopping. With all of the businesses within a 10 min walk, it’s possible to not have to leave the neighborhood during your stay. There’s so much to see and visit locally. If you’re needing a grocery store, there’s a Fred Myer or Whole Foods within a 15 min walk.
If you’re traveling by yourself or as a couple, I definitely recommend this place.
