Bina's place was as described, it was right near a few restaurants and Whole Foods, and was perfect for a week long stay with the kitchen and W/D. Street parking was easy to find. Communication was very prompt. The bed was comfortable. Bina does mention in her description that you might hear kids upstairs. If you are an early riser, or a very deep sleeper that should be no problem. If you sleep in or are an extremely light sleeper you will want to consider earplugs. I would stay there again if I returned for a longer trip to PDX.
