Amy's place is better than you're hoping for! It's hip and updated, with special touches like funny books in the bathroom and colorful and brand new...everything! We really felt like we could have lived there for an extended stay without feeling like we were missing any kind of convenience. The house is one block from Alberta Ave, the main drag in Alberta Arts area, the cutest neighborhood of anywhere we went in Portland. The only thing I would change is the mattress on the queen bed was very soft and my neck and back suffered a bit. Amy has a friend who is a masseuse she's sweet as well! Thank you Amy we will definitely refer all of our friends to you and hope to stay with you when we come back to check off more great things from our list of things to do in Portland. Oh did I mention her guidebook was amazing???:))
