Elizabeth's home is in a great location - you're just off Division Street, which I've heard from friends in Portland is a very up-and-coming area in general and restaurants in particular (and Clinton Street just to the south is pretty great too, I hear). There's a quick bus to downtown if you're game to try Portland's excellent public transit (TriMet) and it's close enough in that Lyft/Uber rides to downtown/tourist spots will be affordable. Within walking distance we've had: delicious tacos (and fancy margaritas), vegetarian (maybe vegan?) thai food, ice cream, multiple craft beer bars and a few brewery tasting rooms.
The space itself is a basement that gets an impressive amount of natural light. The bed is comfy. The fold out futon in the living room is shockingly comfortable. The full kitchen is very well stocked with the dishes/glasses/cutlery you'll need to make a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast to begin your day - I wish my kitchen at home was this big.
Plus, Elizabeth was a joy to deal with - she answered questions promptly and made sure we were able to get checked in easily, and had excellent suggestions of places for us to try during our stay. I only hope that this space will be available the next time I visit Portland.
