Vicki is an outstanding host and the location can't be beat. We went during an epic Portland snowstorm and ended up walking up and down the hill because our car couldn't make it. It is a gorgeous neighborhood and I will always remember this adventurous weekend! Vicki was very helpful. And the distance is totally walkable to downtown if you're willing. We made it up and down 4 times, even with our bags in the snow. On top of all of this, the space was cozy and clean and beautiful. A truly memorable weekend!
