We loved our stay at Amy's house. The house is walkable to lots of great restaurants and shops, but on a quiet residential street. The house was spacious and was well-equipped for the needs of our family of 5. There were even toys and kids DVDs. We didn't end up cooking there because there were so many restaurants (pie shop!) we wanted to try, but the kitchen also looked well-stocked with spices, kitchen utensils and pots/pans. We would definitely stay at Amy's place again. The location was also central to other places we wanted to visit while in Portland.
