Stay at The Clay Hut! This is a wonderful little backyard cottage with everything you need. The room is perfect, the bathroom is better! The shower is absolutely mesmerizing. Victoria was very helpful and friendly and full of suggestions for Portland attractions. I felt more like I was staying with a friend or favorite relative than in a rented room. While you're there, make sure to try the arepas around the corner and the delicious variety at Cartopia just two small blocks away. Definitely not 'central' to Portland but close enough to public transportation to make a 'no car' visit extremely easy. I'll be disappointed if this isn't available for my next Portland adventure.
