Area is great, only a block away from the Max (transit). The basement apartment is very well put together. It has everything you need to be comfortable, and more. We could definitely see a long term stay here to really explore Portland! The hosts were very nice people, and gave some really good tips about where to go for good food (Sweedeedee's is a must for brunch!) and what to see around town. If/when we stroll through Portland again we would love to stay here again. Thanks guys!
