We had a great stay at Kelly's place in the Alberta Arts district. We had two families with 7 people. The house is super cute, clean and well appointed. There is a nice, large table that could accommodate all 7 of us for eating in but there are great restaurants nearby also. Kelly is an excellent hostess and the home has everything you need and she has put together great visitor information as well. Coffee shops, markets and restaurants are all convenient. It is approximately 15 -20 minutes to downtown from the house. We used Uber/Lyft and navigated public transit. The bus stop is super convenient to the house and it takes you directly to the MAX light rail station to get all over Portland. The house is on a busy street with a fair amount of street noise and at the moment there is major construction on the house directly abutting the property so the noise was a bit extra with that construction. The bedroom suite in the basement is the best sleeping spot for the noise sensitive.
