Mishka's place was a nice place to stay while I was in Portland for work. It's located just a couple blocks from the vibrant Alameda Arts district, with lots of great restaurants and shops. I was initially taken aback by the backyard which was overrun with weeds and a crumbling gazebo, but fortunately that wasn't of the state of the cottage itself - aside from a few torn curtains, it was perfect. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean, which are typically the most important things. Mishka provided some excellent coffee for my stay, too.
