Great location, and easy to get around the rest of the city if you are willing to learn the transit routes. Kristen has a very friendly cat that we spent some of our evenings with, and we named her Bacon since we didn't know her real name. We were not able to say goodbye to Bacon, but if we are ever back in Portland we would come back to Kristen's for sure! The best food of any city I've ever been to!
