Location location location. If you are going to Portland to experience the food, shopping and drinking scene, this is the place to stay. It is right next door to the famed Sapphire Hotel restaurant, great coffee and bakeries. The house is spacious and has a functional kitchen. Communication with the host was great. The only downside is the sound within the house, you can hear everything because of the thin wallslices and creaky floors...if you are going for a romantic weekend with multiple couples, this is not the place. It is best for a family trip.
