My girlfriend and I stayed for 4 days at Elsa's place. The house was very clean. Martin Luther King BLVD is only seconds away, with restaurants and shops, but we found it kinda sketch. Instead, go to Mississippi which is about a 15 minute walk. Plenty of great restaurants, bars, and shops there. Ubers were anywhere from 15-20$ to get downtown Portland.
In a private room situation, your miles will always vary by who else is staying there. We were fortunate enough to only have 1 other person there the entire time, a very chill gal named Michelle.
All in all we had a great experience. Would stay there again!
