My husband and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend to celebrate his birthday. Its a cute, clean place that had everything we needed. She even had excellent Organic shampoo in the shower. I thought that was a really nice touch. Its perfect for a couple, or even a couple with a child. Its 2 blocks from Alberta street which has great bars, restaurants and shopping. We got massages just down the street at a wellness center called Written on the Body. It was a great way to start our trip. We had breakfast after at the Tin Shed which is out of this world. If you like vodka, Cruzon (on Alberta street) had an excellent flight selection of infused vodkas.The trip was a surprise for my husband's birthday and Penelope was so helpful prior to the trip helping me make arrangements. She also had great suggestions for us about what to do in the area. Since we were just there for the weekend, we didn't take the time to learn the bus or train system, but would next time if we came. A tip about Portland in general- they have no Lyft or Uber like service which surprised us. We used Radio Cab the whole time and liked them alot. If you're looking for a spot outside of the downtown area that is still walkable to nightlife, this is the spot for you. We were able to walk to dinner if we wanted to, but also able to easily take a cab to other parts of the city. We enjoyed being in a neighborhood- it felt like a home away from home.
