Joy's place was absolutely perfect. The location is great right next to downtown Portland. If you plan on walking mostly, be prepared for a large amount of stairs or a steep uphill climb. Regardless though, lyft/ubers were readily available. The view was stunning! Having Joy's thai coffee every morning on the balcony was a special treat. We had a rental car as we did a full day of hiking, and parking was a huge plus for us.
After a long day of exploring the pacific northwest we were always pleased to come back home to Joy's!
