Kyra's place was amazing! We were first timers to Portland and thus did not have any idea of what to see or what to do. Kyra provided us with books and her own advice on what places we should see which were all excellent. Her place is within 10 minutes of Belmont, tons of breweries, and some great little restaurants. The apartment is right across from Laurelhurt Park which is beautiful and provides a great place to walk around and enjoy the lush nature. This place had everything that we needed for the cold nights and remained warm and cozy. There are tons of books to read, a little kitchen to cook in, and plenty of amenities such as coffee, a washer and dryer, and nice chairs to read in. I would definitely suggest staying here and when I return it will definitely be with Kyra. Also, try Cibo for great pizza and Bamboo Sushi for amazing, fresh rolls.
