Aysha's home was beautiful upon arrival. Everything was spotless and organized neatly. Aysha was very easy to communicate with and gave us clear instructions about staying in her basement apartment and good tips on what was around us in the Alberta District. Just a block or two down from the place is Alberta St. where many restaurants and bars are. We took a 15 min. taxi to kayaking and a 20 min. taxi to Forest Park if you are an outdoorsy person! Having a full kitchen and a comfortable mattress in a spacious room was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Portland. One thing to keep in mind is Aysha's cat likes to hang out by the door to go outside, but the cat is no harm! :)
