Carol's place was a great hub for us as we visited Portland. There were great restaurants all down 23rd, a 10 minute walk away. The parks were close as well, and we had easy access to the highways for our day trips. The space was clean and spacious, and the washer/dryer and extra towels were great! She had coffee, toiletries and laundry soap all ready for us. It got warm while we were there, but she had two fans which helped it cool off with the windows open. She was very helpful and super easy to communicate with. Overall, we had a great time in Portland staying at Carol's place!
