This is a great area/place to stay if you are a foodie or someone that likes the nightlife. Situated in the historic Mississippi area you are a 5 min walk from cute shops and more. If you get a chance check out Gravy for the most amazing brunch. We suggest ordering the Dalise or Chille Verdes. Adam & Arthur's was very nice. Rebecca, who lives in the home, was a friendly face when we first arrived and we felt right at home. As there is a bedroom right across the hallway and between the bathroom,I'd suggest using earplugs if you are a light sleeper. We didn't use any though and we're fine. Check out the Portland Saturday Market(which is also on Sundays) for local art, music and food. The Alberta district, Fremont and the burnside area is also cool. If you're a young adult and a church goer Bridgetown Church located downtown is lit.
