Gina's place is in a location that is great for a short term stay and even better for a long one. The neighborhood is a perfect mix of commercial and residential, with bars, restaurants, condos and single family homes all giving it a great feel and making it easy to walk to so many options including a full grocery store less than a 5 minute walk away. During my month stay I found myself mostly staying on the east side of the river (where this is located), but when I did want to venture downtown it was only a 20-30 minute walk or short ride share away.
The place itself is on the 2nd floor of a commercial building, but other than a somewhat confusing (the first time) way of getting/into out of the building, the place is nice as it is bigger than it looks in the pictures and noise was never an issue. There are some people without housing in the area (this is Portland 2022 after all), but no one setup near the building and I never felt unsafe even when walking in other parts of the city where there was a much higher concentration.
Additionally, Gina was a very accommodating host offering to set me up with a desk and printer and leaving several items like milk, eggs, pasta and cheese waiting for me in the apartment when I arrived. She also checked in on me and communicated very well before and during my stay.
I highly recommend this location.
