My partner and I recently traveled to PDX for a work-away-from-home long weekend. The cottage was the perfect accommodation for working during the day and walking to delicious meals and happy hours in a charming neighbourhood in NE Portland. Very clean and private space. We did have a car to easily navigate trips across the river and outside the city limits (e.g. Mt. Hood), but I do not imagine that relying upon public transit would be terribly inconvenient. I recommend staying here!
