We stayed in this downstairs duplex on a recent trip to Portland. Parking was never an issue and we generally always found a spot right out front. There were lots of coffee shops and small restaurants nearby to check out. The duplex itself is pretty spacious with lots of places to hang out and a huge kitchen. When we were there it snowed so we didn't have the chance to check out the backyard or porch but they were quaint. The road that the house is on is noisy during commute times. Upstairs neighbor was fairly quiet. Amazon and Netflix entertainment was nice to have. Location to downtown was about 2 miles away.
