This was a great home base for us as we explored Portland and the surrounding areas. It’s a quiet neighborhood, but there is ample public transportation to take you anywhere in the city. (With that said, the little market/cafe a couple blocks away is worth checking out!) In that sense, it was very convenient. It was nice to have a full kitchen since we were there for a week. The space could feel a little dark and chilly at times, but that’s to be expected in a basement. I wouldn’t necessarily classify any of the outdoor space as a usable patio, but it’s possible they brought in the furniture for the season. We appreciated the games and the TV equipped with Netflix in the evenings. Overall, this was a great spot.
