I used to live on this street when I lived in Portland. The location is ideal or anyone who wants to visit restaurants or shops on NW 23rd. It is walking distance to Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, or those who want to see a Timbers/Thorns game (tickets are available for individual matches). The space is nice, bedrooms upstairs--we have two older children and everyone has their own rooms. Kitchen easy to work with and has what you need (new seasons market is close and I recommend there for shopping though Fred Meyer is close as well as is Zuppans). Neighborhood is quiet at night and we found the neighborhood very safe as well. Cinema 21 is only a short walk away if you like movies. Also easy access to I405/I-5 for those who want get around the city easily (i.e., beyond NW portland).
We will stay here again. For those you want easy access to the city and not need their car this is a very good choice.
