This was my first time visiting Portland and we wanted to experience something outside of downtown. Mickey's incredible suite is in an awesome neighborhood with restaurants, bars, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc all within walking distance. Still, they're only minutes from downtown. It was easy access to the expressway to get to Columbia River Gorge and the coast for a couple of day trips. Ask them for suggestions on where to go, you won't be disappointed. Can't hardly wait to come back and see our new friends again!
