The location was unbeatable. When I booked the Farmhouse I did so for the space, it is charming a clean and a tiny bit quirky- in a cool way. Because I don't know Portland well I had no idea that we would be in the heart of a hip, busy commercial neighborhood. It was very quiet, we heard no noise at all at night and we got to enjoy the many restaurants and shops that were literally steps from the front door. There is a cool new Mochi donut shop down the block and lots of pizza and bars and great Thai restaurant and ice cream... all within a few blocks of the front door. We got an unusually beautiful Portland weekend and enjoyed some time on the front porch watching people go by. The location was a huge bonus.
