General overview
Our home is a 115-year-old bungalow, lovingly cared for and updated, decorated with eclectic art.
The space
The main floor consists of a great room with living/dining areas, including a wood-burning stove; a kitchen with extra seating area; the main double bedroom; full bath; and an office area.
Upstairs there's a large double bedroom and full bath, along with a large landing with big built-in bookshelf (overflowing with all manner of books).
In the basement are two double bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, utility/laundry room, and storage area. One of the bedrooms is more organized/desinged as a den, with TV, DVDs, kids toys and books, but there is a large comfortable pull-out couch which sleeps two.
The back garden is well-equipped for fair-weather meals and gatherings, with BBQ, table, hanging chairs and a firepit.
The full front porch sits up off the street and is a wonderful spot to sit with coffee, glass of wine, or a book, watching and greeting neighbors and dogs and birds.
Guest access
Three floors, stairs between each. Stairs up to the front porch, and again down to the back garden.

Neighbourhood
We are within walking distance of several cafes, bars and restaurants, including a convenience store for late-night necessities. There is an excellent natural foods grocery store 5 minutes by car (or 15-20 minutes by foot), and the local light rail system (the MAX) is a 10-minute walk away.
Our neighborhood is friendly, quiet, safe and very welcoming. We are good friends with most of the people on our street, and they will all be happy to assist any guests who stay at our home. There are several parks and green spaces within walking distance as well--good for picnics, watching sunsets, or just getting a feel for Portland.
Nearest airport
Portland International Airport (PDX) is less than 20 minutes from our home (in average traffic times).

William
We are a very close family of four (our children are grown and no longer live at home) who love connection, adventure, discovery and togetherness. We've all, at various points, lived in Europe, and we've traveled extensively, both in the U.S. and abroad. It is, by far, our most cherished value--experiencing, learning from and honoring people and cultures throughout the world.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
