This is a very charming suite. Everything has a personal touch and Vicki is a lovely, lovely host. She had an abundance of amenities and I loved the way she designed and decorated everything. The views are also a bonus.
It's in a sweet neighborhood up the hill from 23rd Street (a little over a mile from the start of the shops). It's a little on the steep side, but my husband and I really enjoyed the walks down to the coffee shops and stores and the neighborhood itself is a nice place to stroll (there was a list of local trails that she had out but we didn't get a chance to take advantage of it this time). And of course, it being Portland, there are lots of friendly people.
There is a cafe not too far that opens at 11 a.m and stays open for dinner.. It has meatballs like I remember my friend's mother used to make and focaccia that was so tasty. Further down the hill going to one side is a cool funky cafe, Fehrenbacher Hof, that reminds me of the Portland vibes from 20 years ago. On 23rd, of course, there are a lot of places to eat including Ram's Head (a McMenamin's pub with some solid beer offerings).
We will definitely be looking here if/when we find ourselves in Portland again!
