Our family of 5 was in Portland for the 2016 Rubik's Cube National Championship and a family vacation. Victoria's house was exactly the right size for us to relax in before and after daily adventures. She was available to answer our questions without being obtrusive at all, a great host. The house was just 5 minutes walk from bus stops, 12 minute walk from the MAX line into the city, and maybe 20 minutes of driving to Forest Park and other city-center activities. A couple of neighborhood bonuses: a small park with a spray-ground a block away and the Peninsula Park rose garden for morning running about a mile away. This worked so, so well for us.
