The house is located about 1.5 blocks from the Alberta Arts District which has many good eateries (not enough time to get to try them all . . . sigh). Also, the #8 bus runs on the same street as the house, so public transport is right there . . . 30 minutes to City Center. As I was in Portland (great city!!!) for only ~3 days, and was out and about during the day, didn't get a chance to sit down with Teresa. All in all, had a very cool stay in Portland.
