If you can't find something interesting to eat, a well-crafted cocktail to drink, or an eclectic shop to meander through near this spot, you're in the wrong city. This neighborhood boasts some of the most notable restaurants in Portland (looking at you, Stella Taco, Bollywood Theater, Salt and Straw, and Blue Star Donuts). When you stay here, you're staying between two great commerce hubs, Hawthorne Ave and Division St. Take a stroll west down either and you won't be disappointed. Most importantly, the host was very kind and the cozy basement apartment was sparkling.
