We came to Portland for my daughters college graduation and Allyson and Jose's place was a perfect location and home to stay in, we stayed 4 nights. Allyson and Jose had so many tourist day trip magazines and brochures for us to look at if we needed any additional ideas, so helpful! The place was so clean and the beds were great! We felt safe in their place and their neighborhood. Lots of places close by to eat and definitely walk-able but we did not visit any of them as our schedule brought us more downtown and other area's when it was time to eat. We messaged them to see if we could borrow an iron or steamer and Allyson responded right away and when we got home that night there was both for us to use in our kitchen! We didn't hear too much noise from above and what we did hear did not bother us at all! If we ever visited that area again we wouldn't hesitate staying with Allyson and Joe's place again.
