Rachael's place was the perfect "home base" for our trip to Portland. Everything we needed or wanted to do was within walking distance or close to public transit; we only used our car once during our stay. The accommodations were as seen in the photos; beautiful, clean, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well appointed. Rachael even had a bottle of wine waiting for us! The neighborhood appeared to be diverse and family oriented. It was also beautiful and quiet, yet close to cafes, restaurants and shops.
