We had a wonderful time in Portland with Johnny and Alicia's place as our home base. The home itself was beautiful and well-furnished (my husband couldn't stop talking about the comfy mattress and so now we are home mattress shopping!) The surrounding neighborhood is awesome, with restaurants and Salt & Straw ice cream nearby. We had a car, so getting around to other sights was easy. Public transportation or Uber seemed to be simple options as well. Go to Portland and stay here--you won't regret it!
