Illana was an amazing host. She provided detailed and timely instructions and came down stairs to meet use when we arrived. She has a wealth of maps, books and recommendations for Portland so you'll never be lost for something to do. The apartment was spotless and exactly like the pictures showed. Although there's no kitchen, Illana provides a mini-fridge as well as bottled water, snacks and a coffee maker. The location in the Alberta area was very convenient - walking distance to coffee shops, breweries and plenty of dinner and exploring options. It's also only a 5-10 minute drive to downtown, even in heavy traffic times. This was a great place to stay in Portland and I would absolutely go back.
