After searching through endless listings for Portland, I kept coming back to this one. I loved the small house charm, the area was close to certain neighborhoods, and had easy access to the train. The price was right too! I was not let down. Everything was clean and organized and just what I wanted for my short stay. The house is located in the backyard of Chelsea and CJ’s home, so it was private yet I felt less lonely because i was in the vicinity of people (I was traveling solo). It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay—a small kitchenette, a pull out bed, a clean bathroom and shower. Plus I loved the DIY elements to it, like the used drink crates repurposed as shelving. There were lists for places to eat, and guidebooks throughout. I felt weird not having access to a television, but with everything I was doing during the day, I found I hardly needed one. The yellow line train is within walking distance and there are bars, shops, and restaurants in the Mississippi district about a 15 minute walk away. The neighborhood is lovely and safe. All in all, I had a wonderful stay!
