This is a wonderful, serene spot close to great neighborhood restaurants and shops. The space itself is super clean and nicely laid out. We were traveling with our 7 yr old son, so we appreciated the full kitchen and ability to do our laundry. My son was totally comfortable on the the convertible couch-bed in the living area and the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. There's a cute street with shops and restaurants just about a 15 minute walk away. We had a car, and did drive downtown, which, coming from Los Angeles seemed like a breeze. It's probably not super a expensive Lyft ride (plus no parking fee that way) There's a terrific park nearby with a pond and playground, maybe about a 15- 20 min walk, we drove there. All in all this was a very family friendly area. My son and I enjoyed a good amount of time in the hammock due to the great weather. We also made friends with the neighbor cat ,Chester. Melissa is very nice and offered some local spots/ restaurants for us to check out. There's no T.V. in the unit, was fine with us, (just something to keep in mind if you think your kids you you might lose your mind without it.) All in all this was a highlight of our trip, really a perfect spot to take in a more local experience of Portland.
