We enjoyed our stay at the Bartman House, especially the front parlor - a very comfortable couch in a gracious room. Our first night we were amazed that Portland's famous naked bike ride passed right by the front windows! It's a central location - more good places to eat within walking distance than we had time to try! However, the traffic was intense. There was some construction work being done on the house while we were there, which was not ideal, and a slight lingering smell of smoke in the front hallway (possibly from the upstairs tenant). But the house is charming and comfortable, and we loved having it as our home base for 10 days.
