Even though the location seems a bit out of the area, it’s truly not. It’s perfectly centered and quickly, easy access to all of Portland even during peak traffic. Ten minutes to the hawthorn area, to old town , to downtown ( the convention center) and to the pearl district. Only a few minutes from the hwy and super close to the hospital if that is the reason you’re there. It’s in a great location where parking will never be an issue and you’re in a safe, quiet neighborhood. You will absolutely not be disappointed in the home, or the location. It was sparking clean and even the blankets smelled fresh out of the dryer. It is stocked nicely and thoroughly, which is a must if you cook, do laundry or want extra bedding. . The host is gracious and a great communicator. You couldn’t ask for more in a stay. I’ll certainly be returning here for my Portland layovers.
