We loved Dina's flat! The space was well thought out and ideal for our needs. It is in a wonderful neighborhood close to both the Belmont and Hawthorne districts and a just a short walk to Mt. Tabor. There is a delicious food cart pod only blocks away! And plenty of maps/bus schedules/travel guides in the apt. The bed was extremely comfortable and the basement kept cool during the warm day. Our interactions with Dina were few, but lovely. If you are looking for a great place to recharge in a great part of town I definitely recommend Dina's flat. It was great for us, and would be great for other travelers who are actively enjoying Portland during the day. The noise from upstairs didn't bother us (children playing, etc) and the lack of light wasn't an issue (as we didn't stay inside during the day). Dina's flat was super cute and exactly what we needed!
