Susannah's place is on a quiet little block not far from commercial areas. It's not too far of walk to good dining options on Burnside (either way) and a short drive or ride across the bridge into downtown Portland. She arranged for me to park in the driveway which worked well for parking overnight. The garden apartment isn't fancy but it's clean and has plenty of space, including a little kitchen area and fridge (though no TV if that's your thing). As she mentions, you will probably hear her and her pets upstairs during the day but it was very quiet for sleeping at night. Check in and out was easy.
