Elena's place is in a residential part of Portland that has close by amenities - Wholefoods is a block away, and there is a cafe and Starbucks and restaurants also. Most closed while I was there, but great area. It is also walking distance of a few blocks to Irving Park, which was nice for afternoon walks. The apartment itself is spacious and very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need. Elena's communication was great and quick. I highly recommend Elena's place to others.
