David's place is a nice, clean, minimally decorated space surrounded by great restaurants and bars of all kinds. It was my first time in Portland and this space seemed centrally located; a couple blocks from the highway on ramps and the bridge to go over the river. Parking right out front can be a little challenging but I managed to find a place on cross streets if not out front. The area also felt safe and was surprisingly quiet since there is a great restaurant right next door. I had a lovely first time in the city and am already looking forward to coming back!
