Our stay at Tamara's place was perfect! The place is super cute and has a ton of amenities (spare towels, cleaning supplies, a binder of suggestions and quirks about the house, etc) that really show she has been running the place like a pro for a long time. We ended up walking to Alberta Street quite a bit to enjoy the awesome restaurants there, but the kitchen seemed well-equipped for a meal at home, too. The immediate area is very walkable, and there are buses to take you downtown (we did ride the MAX once, but it’s a longer walk to the station). All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience and left us with a great impression of Portland and the people who live there.
