The little pink house was the perfect home base for our trip to Portland. It's in a very quiet yet happening neighborhood which, as of this weekend, has its very own Blue Star Donut (just two blocks from the pink house). If you want to visit Division or Hawthorne (as we did when we were jonesing for Pok Pok and Salt & Straw), the 4 bus stops a block away and runs often. Also, you can't see it in the pictures here, but the garden around the house has filled out beautifully. Another added bonus if you're taking a cab: telling them "it's the pink one" made things very clear when getting dropped off or picked up!

The only detriment was learning how to maneuver past the loft's lowest ceiling point, which will give you a bit of a clunk if you're over 5"10 but is plenty tall for changing clothes etc. once you get closer to the windows.
