Bina's appartment is in the NE of Portland in a nice nighborhood with restaurants and bars. Bus station to Downtown (20 minutes), Whole Foods and Starbucks are just across the street. The appartment is clean, well equipped and although in the basement, bright and comfortable. Check-in and communication with Bina was very easy. As stated in the description, the house has thin walls and you can hear the familiy upstairs.
