This having been my first time to Portland, I was unsure where to stay, what neighborhood, etc. This spot couldn't be more perfect. As a woman traveling on my own, it was amazingly private, and safe. I enjoyed Alberta, which was an artsy, middle of the road type of community with great restaurants, bars, shops and lots of friendly people and was close enough to walk to other entertainment districts! This place was light and spacious, spotlessly clean, easy to get into and across from a really beautiful park. I would go to this bar in the evenings and walk home in the dark with never a hint of feeling insecure. It is close to downtown (short cab ride) and close to the airport as well. This spot is a treat....you will not be disappointed!
