I stayed one night to attend a private function in the nearby Gigi's Cafe (delicious, by the way). The basement unit reminded me of our first two apartments when my husband was in graduate school. It's a great neighborhood, with tasty food shops in close walking distance and, to log those 10,000 steps, access to one of my favorite Portland walks on the Fairmount Blvd loop at the top of the hill. I had a quiet night's sleep with no noise from upstairs or neighbors. The hosts were responsive to my request to check in at mid-afternoon. It was nice to have a refrigerator and dishes, because I brought home leftovers to eat for breakfast.
