Tamara's place is the best for exploring Portland. I highly recommended it. It is in the North East area of Portland which we found to be the best area during our first trip. The apartment is beautifully located within walking distance of Alberta Street which is very hip and cool with lots of great restaurants, bars, clothing stores, and ice cream shops. The apartment itself is stunning. So much love and care was put into the furnishings of this flat! Most other airbnb's you find will have "cookie cutter" furnishings from ikea. Not Tamar's place! This flat is so beautifully furnished and looks like you would want your home to look. So much space, decor, and EVERYTHING you would ever need in a home. Awesome sky lights, Great AC, Good WifI, the Works! The apartment also has a fantastic back yard with a table where we ate breakfast every day from an amazing local cafe on the corner called "Sweetdeedee". Parking was very easy right in front of the apartment. Thanks for hosting us Tamara. We hope to stay in your place next July or August.
