The location is excellent - safe, quiet, but also close to lots of things to do. It's nearby to several rental bike spots, useful bus lines (the 70 stops just across the street), and the Orange line light rail for when you want to get around town, and several locations of interest are within easy walking distance, including the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Opera, and the Hawthorne neighborhood. Several good restaurants, breakfast spots, and bars/breweries are nearby, and I took full advantage of them! The basement-level apartment was clean and had an expansive living room area, plenty of space to stretch out. I occasionally heard the host walking around upstairs or running water, but for the most part it was quiet and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Portland in the future!
