I stayed at Mandi's place with my sister and a friend (we were going to a wedding in NE Portland). The location was perfect for us. Alberta street has plenty going on, we didn't wander far from the Alberta Arts district, but it seemed like a pretty central location to explore all of Portland. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The house itself was easy to get in and out of. Plenty of space for three people if you don't mind sharing a bed. Mandi was very responsive prior to our visit and gave clear instructions on how to get in. Would definitely recommend!
