Great place to stay while in Portland! We were able to walk to a lot of places and getting to other parts of the city are short drives/bike rides away. The house is situated on a busy street but we couldn’t hear anything once in the apartment. The only thing you can hear is people and a pup walking around upstairs. Now if you are used to apartment living, this won’t be a big deal, old house = creaky floors. The waking quieted down around bedtime and hearing the dog’s little clickity-clacks was kinda cute. The place is clean, modern, inviting and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Communication was top notch and we were sent several messages checking in on us.
