As a former Portlander, it is important for me to stay where I feel like I belong. Ptown is divided up into quadrants and within those are awesome neighborhoods. This place puts you in the middle of SE and among some of the best neighborhoods in town. If you want a sterile, generic room this isn't for you. If sounds of life bother you then this also isn't for you. If you want to know what it feels like to live here then this is a fantastic spot. It is close to all my favorite places and the morning walk in Mt. Tabor was everything I wanted!!
