Although we were only able to stay one night, Stephanie's apartment turned out to be an especially great home base for exploring Portland. We walked to a food truck pod that ended up being our favorite food experience of the trip, and walking around Hawthorne and the surrounding neighborhood really puts you in touch with what the city is all about. The apartment itself was small but perfect for our needs, cute and clean. Stephanie was also very friendly and accommodating when we asked to check in early.
