Ilana is a gracious, generous, and helpful host. We found the neighborhood to be quaint, safe, and walking distance to 2 charming neighborhoods (Alberta and Mississippi), and major bus routes. The unit itself is as advertised and is even more charming in person! The bed was comfortable; wifi was easy to access; the adjustable wall heater was much appreciated on those cold nights; and the complimentary bottles of water was a huge help on our first night. Lucky for us, Ilana was around the day we checked out and kindly stored our luggage upon check-out so that we could enjoy the remaining hours of our stay in Portland.

Note to travelers: unless you have a car, it will take a bus and a train to get into Downtown or a taxi. When we visited this February, Lyft and Uber weren't available however we experienced speedy taxi services that Ilana recommended as well as efficient public transportation.
