For us, this was a wonderful location, situated a couple of blocks away from our son's house. There is a lot of great dining walking distance from the house. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, with many beautiful gardens.
The location itself has an entrance for guests. The entire basement is an apartment unto itself. We found it quite comfortable, using the gas fireplace in the bedroom to warm the room in the evening when we retired for the day.
If you are staying in the Portland area and want a nice quiet place to stay, you can't go wrong here.
