Barbara's place is a little island of tranquility in the city. We stayed here to attend an expo at the convention centre and it was a perfect 15 minute walk away. The location is very central and you are well positioned to enjoy all that PDX offers. Barbara provided a helpful list of local eateries and things to do nearby. The home is decorated with her beautiful photography. The kitchen was also very well appointed with staples and some other items left behind by previous guests. The garden is a true jewel, though we didn't spend much time in the hot tub. Street parking was abundant and easy to find.
Barbara is a great communicator and gives guests their privacy. Would definitely recommend the Bamboo Garden Apt for a single traveller or couple looking for a true sense of place during their Portland visit.
