The house was very well located and parking in the neighborhood was very easy. We never had to park more than a block away and it's free! Also, there were restaurants and bars close by and if you have kids with you, there are plenty of parks to go to in the area. The house was everything I would have expected in Portland. I loved the decor and the layout of the house - just what I pictured for Portland. WiFi worked well and so did the cable (particularly important when watching the Women's World Cup Final). The only thing I would mention for future guests, and this wasn't an issue for us, is the blinds are not blackout in the bedrooms so you may want to bring eye masks if light in the morning bothers you.
