Christine and Charles's place is incredible and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an affordable, comfortable place to stay in Portland - especially if you have your own car! It's about 15 minutes (during good traffic hours) from downtown Portland and has lots of nearby food options. The decor is truly something to behold and they've added so many thoughtful touches everywhere; my room had a beautiful basket with towels, wash cloths, unopened soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a hair dryer (no to mention the most comfortable sheets I've ever slept in).
