Naomi's little apartment is in a good area for exploring Portland. The garden is really beautiful as well. However, do know that you'll be staying in a basement - although it's mentioned in the description, the pictures don't quite reveal this very clearly. It's a perfectly comfortable place to just go back and sleep, although we really were there ONLY for sleeping (we had great weather and were out and about almost all of the time). I think it would have been a little dark and not so comfortable had we been there more or if we had to be inside more due to bad weather, so just know what you're getting into!
