Portland International Guesthouse was even better than expected. The old house was charming and our room was bright and spacious with tall ceilings and windows. Everything was clean and the rooms had wonderful eclectic art on all the walls. Trader Joe's is on the same block and has so many options for simple meals. The kitchen had everything we needed including dishes, silverware, etc. The location was ideal! My daughter and I took the train to Portland and brought our bikes. Everywhere we wanted to go was within a 2 mile radius - we never had to worry about parking! The Guesthouse also had a great spot to lock up our bikes and we were given a key so that we could access it whenever we needed. The owners and the managers were all very friendly and helpful with directions, suggestions, etc. They live on the premises and were available but we also had all the privacy we wanted. I will definitely stay here again!
