The Pittock Getaway is true to its name - just a few minutes up the hill from downtown Portland and you feel like you're in another world - quiet and serene and surrounded by nature. Downtown is really only accessible by car or public transportation (of which there is a stop right across the road) but there are great hiking trails practically at your doorstep and a beautiful lookout over the city at the Pittock Mansion just up the road. The apartment itself is clean and cozy - would definitely recommend staying here if you have the chance!
