Kristen's place is in a terrific part of town. It's about the cutest neighborhood we explored in Portland. Being right next to the coop is really a game changer for last minute runs and feeling like you're part of the neighborhood. The coop has excellent options for those with dietary restrictions. Make sure to take advantage of Portland's bike share program (Biketown) Her place is down the street from a Biketown hub and biking downtown from there only takes a little over 15 minutes along the beautiful river bike path.
As for the space itself, it met all our needs, but do listen to the description when it says that an active family living upstairs. They are perfectly pleasant people but the level of noise that comes through the ceiling may not be what you're looking for while on vacation. They were quiet during the night time, but if you're the kind of traveler that needs a nap during the day, pack some earplugs or consider another place.
