Kris's place was perfect for our stay in Portland. The place is really spacious and has all the amenities you could need. It is in a nice neighborhood that has lot's of stuff to explore. There is a bus stop 2 minute walk from the house which can bring you into downtown in 10 minutes. If you use the bus I would get a day pass for $5 which you can buy on the bus, it worked well for us and enabled us to get around all day. I would recommend to stay with Kris if you're visiting Portland.
