This was an amazing place for my 20-year-old daughter and I to stay in our first (but not the last!) trip to Portland. The Pearl District is full of wonderful restaurants, brew pubs, and cute shops, and we felt safe and comfortable walking around all times of day and night. This suite was beautiful, immaculate, light, and very roomy for two. The courtyard in front was lovely and inviting. The hosts were both welcoming, friendly, and open, without being intrusive. We felt like they were a good resource, and made it clear we could reach out to them at any time. They have created a wonderful place to stay, and it is clear that it is important to them to do so.
I would recommend this neighborhood above any other one in Portland - you can walk for blocks and blocks around - plus downtown and the waterfront for the Saturday market (if you are up for a good walk). Public transportation is easily accessible if you prefer. The combination of history and beauty in the neighborhood is not to be missed!
