We were very pleased with the location of the house as it was 2 blocks from a bus stop to downtown Portland, 2 blocks from a city recreation center, and a 5 min drive to our daughter's house. The size of the house with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath was very comfortable with airconditioning and fans. The landscape surrounding the house was large redwood trees, pines, and a vegetable garden with a basketball hoop and swing set. The house was located near a freeway entrance but we never heard traffic from there. The kitchen and laundry were well equipped. Both hosts responded quickly and fixed two areas that we felt needed additional cleaning. Three grocery stores, a Powell's bookstore, restaurants, art store, movie theater, and drugstore were within 10 min. driving to a couple malls.
