My girlfriend and I stayed with Beth for 5 days and had a great time.
* Beth was friendly, helpful and quick to respond.
* Beth's place was clean and well kept.
* Good size space. Much larger than your typical hotel room. I'd compare it to a studio apartment with full kitchen.
* Full Kitchen, complete with full-size refrigerator, oven + stove, microwave and electric water kettle.
* Large & comfortable bed: Not sure if it was a queen or king, but it was a good size for 2 people, and quite comfortable.
* Great location! While there may not a lot within close walking distance, Beth's location is actually perfectly centralized for people who plan on exploring Portland's various neighborhoods. It's kind of uniquely in between many different popular areas, so if you venture out in any direction for a few minutes, you'll find something cool.
About Location/Transportation: Portland's public transportation is pretty good. You can download their app to pre-buy day passes with your smartphone. It takes about 20 - 30 min to get to downtown on the number 9 bus, which picks up about a block away from Beth's place. It's a pretty easy trip, no transferring required.
We would definitely seek out Beth's place again next time we visit Portland.
Thanks Beth!
