Upon arriving at this darling and geographically desirable home, one will immediately notice attention to detail. We arrived late at night and the entry directions were clear and precise. When we opened the door to our suite, we let out a collective, "wow!" Beautiful! Lest we forget to mention... the old-fashioned elevator that delivered a smooth and quick ride to our cozy destination. Very cool!
Nearby points of interest (less than 10 min. avg.) include The Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, Zoo and the ever popular and inviting 23rd Street. You'll find great restaurants and artsy shops on 23rd. (I suggest using the OpenTable app to find last-minute reservations and directions.)
Whether one is interested in experiencing downtown dining, music or art attractions, this place is only minutes from the action (easy access to freeway). Or, take a day trip to Mount Hood or Astoria with the comfort of knowing you'll be returning to an inviting stay - complete with fireplace, reading room, fully housed kitchenette... and the most inviting shower you will ever experience. (Specifically, a rainfall shower head spilling in to the corner of a glass mosaic tile bathroom.)
If you feel like staying in... grab a glass of wine and take the elevator up to the top deck. You'll be able to take in all of Downtown Portland while lounging on a comfy (extremely large) deck. Our host was inviting and, at any given time, went out of her way to make sure we had anything and everything we needed to assure a comfortable stay.
We'll be back! Count on it!
