Our 4 days in Portland were made pleasant and enjoyable, largely because we had this great place in which to stay. The accommodations were fine [bathroom, tv, snacks, microwave, coffee pot, etc] and our hostess became our new friend. The location is great for using the vast network of public transport all around Portland. Also, the neighborhood is quiet, you don't hear a thing. If we get back to Portland, this is where we'll stay.
