The house was perfect for our stay in Portland. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint, and great for walking around. There’s a magnificent park about a half mile down the road, and there are shops and eateries here and there throughout the area. It’s just minutes from downtown Portland by light rail, which is very convenient. There’s a lovely area to sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house is comfortable and secure, and there are a washing machine and dryer downstairs. You’ll see some homeless in the area, but not many (they’re everywhere in Portland.), and they posed absolutely no problem at all. We walked all around the neighborhood freely and comfortably. Except for Portland traffic, getting there was very easy, and getting into the house was even easier. Everything went very smoothly. The kitchen is handy and the bathroom has a good shower. Overall, we were very pleased and would happily stay there again.
