We visited Portland for the purpose of attending a weekend event at the University of Portland. The location of the Carriage House was, in a word: PERFECT! We were but a few minutes from UP with great coffee options along the way, a New Seasons grocery close by and just about anything else you might need. The dwelling and parking was easily located thanks to the clear instructions provided. There was kitchen with all the things you would need to make a meal. Nice little touches like snacks and fresh flowers were added as well. Something I missed when booking was that the bed is located in a loft with ladder access. It wasn't an issue for us. I really liked the decor; a great mix of vintage and new - also local art on the walls which was really cool. I highly recommend.
