About the host

Hosted by House on Ardmore

Host profile image
We love travelling, trying different food and activities, and meeting new people.
We have done backpacking, driving across from North to South America as well as travelling overseas and within USA, from cheap to luxurious.

We speak fluent English, Arabic and Japanese.

We look forward to have people staying at our place.

Why they chose this property

We only wanted buy a house within two blocks of where we are.
Because, it's located on a very quiet street in a safe and the most desirable neighborhood in Portland.
You can walk to evrywhere even downtown Portland is less than a mile walk and Washington Park is like our back yard. NW 23rd Avenue is also only 2 blocks away.

There are so many excellent restaurants, cafes, bakeries, delis and too many good things to mention around here.

We did not have a car and we did not need it because everything was walkable.
