Modern downstairs apartment a few blocks from University of Portland and under 15 minutes from downtown. Easy location with grocery stores nearby to make use of the kitchen before heading out for the day. There is a park one block up for anyone with small kids, but otherwise you might need a car or bike to get around. There was some noise from the upstairs at the beginning and end of the day, but nothing unreasonable or disturbing - the neighborhood overall is very quiet. Overall, this was a great choice for our family at half the cost of staying directly downtown.
