Teresa greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the place, gave us a lot of great tips for places to explore for dinner, drinks, breakfast, general local gems. We ended up finding the info very useful throughout our week in Portland checking out various neighborhoods.

Room was actually more spacious than it looked in the provided pictures. The living space was very cozy - lots of room to be social and meet others but quiet enough to have some privacy too.

Bus stop is right outside the door and across the street and can zip you straight downtown in a matter of about 20 - 30 minutes (or you can Uber affordably - about 10 minutes and around 10 bucks). About a 2 minute walk to Alberta District, one of the coolest neighborhoods in Portland in terms of culture, food, art, music, specialty shops... overall, you could spend your whole stay just in this district and really enjoy yourself. Other nearby neighborhoods include Historic Mississippi (similar style of neighborhood, slightly smaller) and slightly further is Hawthorne which was also smaller but very funky and full of a diverse selection of cuisine and cultural shops (bonus is Bagdad Cafe and especially the Backstage).

Overall a very positive experience at this place. Affordable for the quality of the room, the location, the transit. Have stayed here before and would come back again.
