This was a great-sized unit for a family. The unit had all the basics covered--great place to launch from and to also be able to prepare and eat your own meals and hang out during down time. There were several neat restaurants within walking distance, and it was nice to have a homebase to explore some of the areas of Portland that don't typically get much tourism. The only drawback for us was regarding the noise from the nearby highway and train(s). If you are a light sleeper, like me, you will definitely hear loud cars speeding by and the bells of incoming/outgoing trains nearby at night (there was some reprieve after midnight). The immediately neighbor streets and neighbors were quiet, and I didn't hear anything bothersome within the building during sleeping hours, but the walls are thin. I would only take pause about renting if you are sensitive to sound, especially while sleeping.
