This was a great house for me and my friends to spend the weekend. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. If you're a first timer in the city and want to spend more time in downtown you might want to keep looking, but since we have been to Portland many times before this gave us a chance to explore new areas. In fact, we didn't go to the Downtown area our entire visit because there were so many other pkaces to see east of the river. I highly recommend the Mash Tun brew pub if you stay here, it's close by and really relaxing.
