We loved staying at Karen's! It's a very comfy home decorated with her beautiful artwork. All the rooms get really great sunlight throughout the day which is a huge plus in Portland. The kitchen has a wonderful, easy espresso machine! We found the location very peaceful and quiet on the bike corridor with lots of food/coffee places to walk to on Alberta st. If you don't have a car, there are easy buses on MLK and 15th nearby. Highly recommend staying here while in Portland!
