This rental is in a great area that's very close to lots of great restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance. Our favorite shops were the oddities in Patxon Gate and local and vintage goods at Flutter. Stormbreaker Brewing has a quaint neighborhood pub feel and Kate's Ice Cream is delicious. The apartment was very large compared to other rentals we've stayed at in Portland, with plenty of space for our family. There wasn't any noise from the street or neighbors so we had a very quiet and restful stay. It was nice to have a parking space in the driveway and there was also space on the street as well. The beds were comfortable. It took less than 10 minutes to get to downtown and getting on and off the freeway was very easy from this location (not always the case in Portland). Bring a Roku or Fire stick with you if you want to stream TV using the smart TV in the living room. We will definitely be back to this rental again soon!
