The place is close to Mississippi which has many food trucks and bars. The location of the home is near the freeway so very accessible to get to downtown. I was hesitant with it being so close to the freeway because of the sound but that was no issue at all. Bathroom was downstairs which made it a bit inconvenient but no biggie. All in all the home did the job for me and my 3 buddies visiting Portland for our first time.
