Parking on the street was impossible to find. The paid parking lot is not secure and is located around the corner from the entrance to the building. The rental was sparkling clean. The neighborhood is not terribly interesting...just a whole lot of apartment buildings with a few restaurants here and there. If you are looking for the 'Portland vibe' that you've heard about, you won't find it here. However, if you are looking for a clean, quiet, safe place to sleep and you don't mind walking a block between your parking spot and the front door, this will do.
