Derek's place is absolutely perfect. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Portland that is cute, clean, comfortable and walking distance to the best that the Southeast area has to offer, this is the place. I stayed for several months while in Portland for a work assignment, and on days that I did not have to commute to work I didn't even need to get in my car. There are several coffee shops, grocery stores and other amenities close by, and more incredible restaurants than I could try even in the several months that I was there. One block away is a bus stop that goes to the heart of downtown, and it is a very bike friendly area, as well. The place itself is wonderful. It is very clean and has reliable wi-fi and an amazing mattress with plenty of high quality linens provided. The large deck is an amazing spot to sit with your morning coffee or enjoy a book. The kitchen has high end appliances and is stocked with everything you may need. Derek was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with, not that you will need anything since he has set up the space so well. I could not imagine having stayed anywhere better. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay, whether for a weekend visit or an extended stay in Portland!
