This is a great place, walking distance to the Alberta District and the Mississippi District. It's close to the freeway if you have a car and getting out of Portland for the day too. It's also a short bus ride away from downtown. My husband & I stayed at Ilana's place for 4 nights and comfortably got around Portland w/public transportation & Uber and most of all WALKING from Ilana's place to lots of bars and restaurants. We also rented a car and had no trouble hopping on the freeway. Basically, it's a great choice, especially for the amazing price!
Also, the place is clean and a comfortable size. The neighborhood's quiet at night, perfect for resting. Ilana is so nice too! I definitely recommend staying here.
