Really enjoyed our stay at Julie's. House is one block from cool strip of shops, bars and restaurants. It's only about 15 min to downtown. Be warned that parking literally everywhere in Portland is on street. Can be tough on the weekend evenings to get a spot. House has on demand hot water heater that was great for our rather large party, never ran out of hot shower water. It is an older home with character, It is not all shiny and new. That being said, it feels like home, it's clean and neat and everything works great. I would recommend it if you're contemplating staying anywhere near there.
