Jons places is definitely good for a budget place in Portland. I'm not sure what accommodation is in downtown Portland, but we spent 50$ extra 1 night just in Uber/Cab fees to get down to the happening area, so depending what you are travelling for, it may just be worth it to get a place closer to. When you arrive, the place looks a little questionable from the outside, but once you get into the room it looks just like the pictures. The A/C is key in the bedroom. And although the train is loud as it blares it's horn, it didn't bother any of us while sleeping. However, Jon provides ear plugs! All in all great budget place to lay your head.
