Dina's place is both quite lovely and perfectly located. The apartment met all our needs, was very well set up, and comfortably heated, something we really appreciated for the cold days we were in Portland. We found ourselves within walking distance of the busy shopping and dining parts of Hawthorne Blvd as well as Belmont St. Downtown Portland was only 27 minutes away by public transit conveniently located one block away. There was plenty of parking on the street and the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. I won't be looking for any other place to stay on my next trip to Portland. Dina is a very sweet and helpful host with valuable recommendations for a first time visitor that her vast knowledge of Portland can offer.
