Michael's place is VERY conveniently located to the Alberta District, which has a variety of places to eat, drink, shop, etc. We are aware that Portland is very well known for their delicious food, but there were 2 places that we really enjoyed. The food was truly exquisite; The Expatriate and Nonna. We rented a car, but we were so close to everything that we rarely needed it unless we were going hiking. Michael's place was very clean and decorated very cute. The building is very modern. I would say the only "complaint" was that the rooms felt like a cave because we didn't get much natural light, but the walking score absolutely made up for it. I would definitely recommend it!! Michael was a very good host. My friends and I had a perfect time.
