The duplex is on the first floor with a bedroom in the front, living room/ kitchen, then bedroom in back. I thought it was a great layout because our friend on the trip who snores crazy loud- I didn't even hear him once. I thought the place was adorable and comfortable. This was my first stay at an airbnb and I would definitely do it again and stay at Faith's house next time I visit Portland. We walked to downtown, which will get your steps in, but is totally doable. There are a few places to swing in for a bite/ drink close to the house (Suki had good happy hour prices and the ahi tuna bowl was great!) but you can enjoy the walk down for the famous food trucks, sushi, ramen, etc. We didn't have a car and had plenty to go, do, and see- only got a ride when we wanted to try something over the river.
