The Villa Serena is well located, so you can walk to many great Portland restaurants, cafes, and shops. This is especially nice when parking is hard to find around the city. It is also very near Forest Park, great for natural beauty and hiking right in the city! I stayed a month while my house was having some rennovation completed. I was looking for a quiet, comfortable place to do my work remotely online. Overall, it fit the bill and enjoyed my stay. Might sound funny, but if direct sun light is important to you, this place may not be for you. Because the property is placed next to another tallish building, I had to use lighting during the day to do my work and for my online, Zoom meetings. Other than that, a few cleaniness issues that were taken care of as soon as I spoke with the host. Thanks!
