ArtFulLife was better than we could have imagined. If you want to experience Portland like a local then this is a great place. The layout is open and warm, Funky art is in every corner. Our friends stayed at the local Northrup Inn, which was great too, but we were very glad to have a "home" in Portland. ArtFulLife's location is incredible. Right in the mix of great shops, restaurants, with easy walking to lots of things. Fred was easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was comfortable. We love ArtFulLife.
