Well as the first reviewer - this was a great place. A purpose built, elegantly designed, separate guest house, (really a one bedroom house), was definitely one of the best places I've stayed in. Near the University and a simple drive to other parts of Portland the location didn't feel too far from anywhere I needed to be.
The area has plenty of Portland food places. Larger and more independent Supermarkets (Green Zebra and New Seasons), as well as food truck areas and coffee / bakeries (like The Sparrow).
