My girlfriend and I spent the weekend here for our first time in Portland and the location was great. The house is located in the Nob Hill area just by the main street which has a lot of restaurants and shops. The instructions were made very clear and to was easy to find and enter. One downside of the place was that it was a basement apartment and it's located below a house with a family on top, which means that you can hear people, kids mostly, walking and talking above you. So if you don't like hearing children, I would consider carefully. It is probably not ideal if you want to sleep during the day or are looking for a quiet getaway, though it is great if you need a place to stay at night or won't be there much. Despite that, it was a great price, host was very nice and accommodating, readily available when we had questions, and the place was very clean.
