Alyssa's place was a perfect location for our "foodie trip" since we mainly wanted to check out a few restaurants nearby, do some hiking, and tour downtown Portland. We had plenty of room in her house. Easy check-in, excellent communication, beds were comfortable, very clean, well-stocked with coffee for the Keurig machine, plenty of towels, nice furnishings, parking on the premises (additional parking on the street in front of the house), and easy access to freeway and downtown area. Since you are in the heart of the city, there's just a little noise to get used to from the street and gas station nearby - but we quickly got used to it.
