We spent the weekend at Cara's place and really enjoyed it. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, including high end shampoos/conditioners, which was a nice touch. Check-in was super easy and it was nice to have our own private space and entrance. We also enjoyed occasional visits by Cara's two cats; the orange one was especially friendly. The neighborhood was pretty and quiet, with several up-and-coming bars/restaurants within walking distance. We ended up renting a car, which was helpful to have as the house is a bit further out and parking was easy on the street. Overall a perfect stay for our weekend in Portland!
