Firstly, I cannot emphasize enough with words just how incredibly cozy this home is. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone feeling anything but comfort when they stay.
Parking is a non-issue. I swear I've parked at the same spot directly in front of the house even coming back late at night.
I wasn't familiar with the Portland area (only second time visiting) but the places I ended up going to where not exactly close to the home. However, they were no more than 10 - 15 minutes of driving to. I had my own car and used uber too so it was never that bad but something to keep in mind. I did totally see a bunch of cool restaurants and bars near the house so it's also not like it's in the middle of nowhere. If anything, I was just being a boring tourist haha.
But this was definitely a home I couldn't wait to get back to after a day of adventuring. Definitely experience Candace's place if you feel tired from life and need an escape.
