Elaines place was a fantastic respite in the Northeast section of Portland. There's little I can say that hasn't already been covered by other reviews. The place was like a treehouse - with the creature comforts of indoor plumbing and a *fantastic* shower.
It's about a 10/15 minute walk to Alberta street, with many vegan and vegetarian food options, if that's your thing. Elaine is welcoming, and we felt safe and cared for, and at the same time afforded just the right amount of privacy.
Having a car was not a problem, although we weren't able to always find a spot right in front.
Well cared for, great host.
