It was a good place for our short stay. Though it was a bit far from the main parts of Portland, it was a quick light rail or Lyft ride away. We lucked out, because we were there over July 4th weekend and public transit was free. A few things to note for others: yes, the light rail is across the street and you can hear it but it stops running late at night (atleast when we were there). Yes, walls are thin, which you can hear others next door or upstairs or their dogs (in our case). Street parking only for your car. But good place to stay that allows dogs!
