First of all, this trip went off without a hitch. Using GPS, locating the residence was easy, and the off-street parking proved to be a tremendous blessing. The home is well appointed (especially the kitchen and bathrooms, spacious, and very comfortable. It is in the heart of the Portland State University campus, and is within walking distance (i.e., less than 10 blocks) to dining (loved the food truck experience), shopping, entertainment, and public transportation. Major freeway access is within minutes of the front door.

However -- and in no way, shape or form is this a negative reflection on the owners or their property -- this is not the home for folks looking for a quite getaway. There is construction going on two doors away, and TriMet buses and trains traveling on the street facing the front of the home. This was not really a problem for guests in the back bedroom, but was noisy for those in the front bedroom.

So, if you and your companion(s) are looking for a quite respite, this may not be the place for you. But if you are (a) used to normal city-life noise, or (b) planning to spend more time partying than sleeping, this is an ideal location. You will definitely have a great time! I know I did!!!
