We usually stay downtown when visiting our college daughter, however, we wanted to try something different. It was in a nice location, close to her college, easy walk to restaurants and shops while still close to downtown. The garage door in the kitchen is a cool feature. We did a great hike to Pittock Mansion, went to the Farmers Market (tamales were amazing), and ate a lot. Mike responded quickly and was very helpful. As others mentioned, there is some noise from the street, but we were so tried from the day it wasn't an issue.
