Cora's apartment was on the second floor of a beautiful home in the Belmont area of Portland. Very walkable to many nearby restaurants, shops, whole foods, and many bars/ breweries. In addition there was a great back balcony that was nice to enjoy a beverage before dinner. Checkin was a breeze using the lock box outside. I think someone was living on the first floor, but they were private and we never interacted with them during our stay. The second floor has a separate entrance with lock, so was still a private room. Highly recommend staying at Cora's spot!
