We loved Alex's place, which is furnished with locally made furniture. It is in an absolutely prime location for exploring Alberta, which ended up being our favorite part of Portland. It is also located on the corner of a bus stop that can take you almost anywhere you wanna go! Alex's little studio is quiet and relaxing, but (literally) only steps away from the lively shops, resturants and bars in Alberta. She was a great host that offered lots of recommendations, was always available to answer questions (either in person or by email) and left us clear instructions for the doorlock, garbage disposal, bike use, etc. We loved our time and could not have imagined a greater stay.
Thanks Alex! :)
