This basement apartment was a nice place to stay for our trip to Portland. We took the train & bus from the airport, and then it was a pleasant walk downhill to the house. You might not want to take just public transport if you have big/heavy suitcases because of the last walking part.
We rode the bus into downtown and back, and it was easy and pretty frequent.
There are so many good restaurants around the corner, as well as groceries fairly close, and the kitchen has a good stove and sharp knives.
The beds were very comfortable - we got excellent sleep, and it was pretty quiet between rooms.
The windows look out onto the gardens for some nice greenery.
We would recommend staying here!
