Lisa's place was conveniently located in the part of Portland I was looking to explore. If you enjoy going on walkabouts then this is a great location - Mt. Tabor park has a great view of Downtown Portland and is a nice leisurely walk. Lisa's place is equidistant from Division and Hawthorne Streets with their many shops and eateries (I highly recommend Next Level Burger for a delicious and affordable vegetarian burger option, Powell's Books, and Adorn Piercing shop if you're into body jewelry). There are bus stops close by too - bring exact change in cash to buy a pass! I was able to pick up groceries and cook on the mini kitchen and was grateful to warm up with the space heater after the frigid low outdoor temperature. The bed is really comfortable too! I recommend this affordable option - Lisa is a hospitable host.
