Bina's place is in a great location and she is a great host. The apartment is loaded with utensils/ pots and pans to cook with in case you don't want to eat out. There's a Whole Foods right across the street as well as a Starbucks.
We didn't mind the noise from upstairs at all since we currently live in a noisy apartment building but it is something guests should be aware of before booking :)
The apartment is very clean and comfortable, we would definitely stay here again the next time we come to Portland and would recommend Bina's for friends and family.
