The neighborhood is quiet, pretty, and close to everything I needed. It was my first time in Portland, and I had no trouble getting around on foot and by transit. Mt. Tabor is a beautiful spot for a walk, and Hawthorne and Belmont streets are both handy for shops and restaurants.

The flat itself is neat as a pin, with a well-appointed kitchen, solid wifi, and comfortable furnishings and shower. Dina was very friendly, but I didn't really need anything during my stay.

I definitely appreciated the "eco" part, too. I had breakfast and dinner at the flat each day to save money, but between community composting and recycling I only needed a fraction of a bag for trash. So nice!
