Albert's place was clean and beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet, and a great way to both see Portland, and feel that you are getting away. I took a nice short walk my first morning to find provisions at the local food coop and good coffee at the local coffee shop. A true Portland gem.
I am a light sleeper and was concerned about noise from above. While you can hear footsteps, Albert's family is quiet upstairs and didn't rouse until a reasonable hour.
