Fred's flat is one of my favorite Airbnb's to date! He was extremely responsive, which was unnecessary for us as he gave excellent and concise directions from the start. The location was PERFECT for any first-timers in Portland. It is 2 blocks from the nearest light rail stop, very accessible to public transportation. Plus, the neighborhood (Alphabet District) is adjacent to shops, restaurants, night life, etc.--but far enough away that noise is not a factor. We only stayed for a couple of days, but I could have easily spent much more time. Plus, we loved the artwork in the flat!
