Stay at Vicki's place as a cool and comfy base for your Portland adventures.
Vicki's place is in one of the more prestigious neighborhoods in Portland, with views of the city and the Cascade range through tall trees, which shade the house and give the feeling of being in a very posh tree house. That said, we found this rental to be quite affordable relative to the hotels in the area (near Portland State University). Separate entrance and free parking are a plus. Apartment is elegantly furnished, with Vicki's art and treasures collected from long-gone Portland buildings, lovingly restored.
The Vista Spring Cafe is a block away. It serves homey Italian food and made one of the best Palomas I have ever had.
Both the apartment and the restaurant are highly recommended. We can't wait to come back.
