Amazing Stay. Very kind and welcoming staff. They were very welcoming to a blind fellow in their front restaurant. While it is near to a few homeless areas, (That says more about the city than the Hostel) They are pretty easy to avoid if that is an issue. Walking distance form Saturday market and great recommendations for dancing. The transportation system in Portland is solid! Very easy to get around without an Lyft. buses and trains are regular and fast in the winter.
