We had a nice 3-night stay at Virginia's flat under her home. The flat is situated in a lovely green neighborhood overlooking parts of Portland. The flat has almost everything you need. There's a small kitchen complete with microwave, stove and fridge. There are a few basics in the cupboard. We also had access to two balconies for a quick early morning coffee or afternoon drink. I'd having a car if you stay at Virginia's because it's a steep, one to two mile walk down to the shops and cafes. I didn't see any public transport nearby. Other than that, lovely bottom flat attached to Virginia's hillside home.
