I loved Alex’s place! I’ve visited Portland a few times, but had never stayed on the east side of the city because I was unsure about how walkable it was.
But this neighborhood is so cute and so walkable (I didn’t have a car) with so much to do. There are also a ton of buses — including one literally outside of the front door that takes you downtown — that make it easy to get to other neighborhoods if you want.
The space is really cute and cozy and had everything I needed. The snacks Alex has in the fridge saved me on my first night when I was too jet lagged to go get food.
I will definitely check to see if Alex’s place is available the next time I visit Portland!
