Lisa's place worked out great for us. While we pack our own food, Lisa did provide milk, juices, and some instant breakfast and soups, as well as coffee and tea in the kitchen area. It was nice to hang out on the back patio.
We had never stayed in this neighborhood before, so it was a new adventure. We were able to take the bus (a block away) to downtown. I took advantage of a great walk through Mt. Tabor Park. Lisa was helpful with finding restaurants and grocery stores nearby. We would definitely recommend Lisa's place for a stay in Portland.
