We stayed at Gina's place for four nights, to visit a relative who's apartment is within walking distance. The location is splendid. Good food (from coffee shops to beer gardens) literally within 100 yards. But the apartment is on a side street and very quiet (in city terms). Lots of pleasant neighborhood walking available just outside the door. We enjoyed two relaxing evenings in the sweet little courtyard where the hot tub is, with take-out food and conversation. Gina was an excellent communicator, from the moment we made reservations until after we checked out. Our few small requests were addressed promptly. We certainly intend to stay at Gina's place again if we visit Portland.
