Fred's place was perfect!
We stayed for four nights and wished we had longer.
Fred was easy to communicate with, even calling us super quick when we asked a silly question, to make sure we were ok, thanks Fred!
We loved the gorgeous art all over the house, plenty of space, super comfortable bed with lovely linens, beautiful old house. There is central heating for the entire house, which if you're like us and prefer it cold overnight, we just opened up the windows for the cool breeze.
You are steps from NW23rd with all its great shopping - Blue Star Donuts, Salt &Straw, St Cupcake are all right there! Down the other end of the block is another shopping neighbourhood.
The number 15 bus and Streetcar are right there (frequent services) to take you downtown and across the river. We relied on public transport and found it quite easy. Or there is Uber/Lyft which we found super cheap for that longer trip out to the suburbs, where there are plenty of hidden dining gems.
If we were coming back to Portland, we'd love to stay here again.
