First I have to say What a great host. Everything she recommended from food to bars was right up my alley. Definitely recommend the double dragon if you like that kind of food and even if you don't you'll still probably like it. The room was really spacious and great outdoor patio. The location was in the heart of where all the bars/restaurants are. I didn't use any public transportation when I was there but they had a train and bus station no more than a half a mile away. Uber to the pearl district and downtown was no more than $12 a ride. When I go back to Portland this is gonna be the spot I stay if it's not booked
