We stayed a week at Alison's place and had a WONDERFUL time. It's a beautiful little cottage in an awesome neighborhood and comes equipped with everything you might need to feel comfy and right at home. There is a lovely little fenced yard with a cozy (and private) patio setup, which we totally took advantage of and used to lounge and enjoy the gorgeous weather.
There are many amenities within walking distance, public transit is easily accessible or you can call an Uber/Lyft and zip downtown in minutes. If you are unfamiliar with the area Alison's got ya covered with an awesome guidebook that has lots of information about the area, suggestions and recommendations, tips for getting around and more.
We did meet both Alison and her husband the day we checked in - they were so incredibly nice and really set the tone for a fantastic stay. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back the next time we visit Portland.
