The Irvington neighborhood is gorgeous. It was an incredible historic neighborhood to walk through and was very close and convenient to the other areas of Portland we wanted to visit. The hot tub was GREAT after a day of hiking Multnomah Falls. The unit itself was nice, but small, but it met our needs for our visit. The house it is in has 8 units, and it's an old house, so you can hear a lot of creaking and moving around if the other units are occupied. We only really stayed there to sleep, so it wasn't a huge deal - but if you are a sensitive sleeper this old home may not be for you. We had a rental car, but it was very close to the bus route and a bus trip to downtown took about 10 minutes.
