We are a family of 6 with four young children (4 yr-old and under), so functionality of the house and location were high on our list. The house has all 3 bedrooms upstairs, which worked great for us. One of them has a low queen bed, which was perfect for our two oldest kids (falling off the bed is low-impact!). We also enjoyed the good-size living area downstairs, with open floor plan. Bonus was the deck with views of the river, from which we enjoyed several dinners. As noted in other reviews the house is on the older side, so the floor is creaky upstairs, etc. If you've never lived in an old house this may feel weird. We were fine with it.
Location was perfect. There is a great playground on the street the house is located on (a level street, which you'll come to appreciate in Hood River). Super convenient with the kids who could use their scooter to get there (a 3 minute walk). Oak street is a 5 minute walk going, 10 minute coming back. It is STEEP. We could not push our double stroller with the older kids in it on the last stretch (7th street). But the very steep sections (on State and 7th) are short.
Overall very satisfied.
