Carin’s place was exactly as it was pictured! I was stayed there for a week by myself and felt extremely safe for the entire trip. It was in a great location, where you could walk to explore Irvington and the Arts district (if you don’t mind a mile walk). It was very centrally located so I could get to Downtown or out to Multnomah falls in reasonable time for exploring. I had a rental car and was always able to find street parking for free!
