Judy was there when we got there and did her best to make us feel welcome. The manager Glen and the neighbor Sam were so sweet and friendly as well. We knew we could call her if we had any issues.

The place was big and airy with a very comfortable bed. The neighborhood was really nice--the rose garden across the street is spectacular!-- but a bit far from everything. A short trek to the Mississippi and Alberta neighborhoods were well worth it. The walk is nice but long--biking is better.

It was great to have the bikes to get around with, though they weren't the best fit for us--there's a bike rental place not far called Everybody's Bike Rentals where we got locks and where you can rent bikes that do fit if you like. Biking downtown was fun and easy and the Portland people were incredibly helpful when we were trying to get around.
