This is a great location if you're looking to stay in downtown Portland. It's really walkable but also close to the rail stop. There are a bunch of restaurants, bars, and food carts within a few minutes walk. It's "private" during non-working hour but please note that this building doubles as an office for the owner and he will be in and out during the day. We were mostly gone during the day so it wasn't an issue, but it's something to be aware of. You won't get a key to lock up your stuff in the bedroom while you're gone; you'll be provided an access code to get into the building. We didn't have any issues while we were there but Patti was great with communicating before we arrived.
