We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Donna and Robert's place and would totally recommend it. It is located in a very nice quiet neighborhood, with plenty food options nearby (the food carts place down the street is actually great). But you are by no means limited to the close ones. I found transportation system in Portland very easy to use. Lot of uber/lyft so you don't have to wait for long. Also lots of bus routes (but you need to plan ahead a bit, checking bus schedules on google map), easy to get around with bus too. Portland is not huge, it's quick to get to downtown or other parts of the city from here. Donna and Robert are great hosts, super helpful and nice people.
