What an awesome location in the MISSISSIPPI district. This is about a 5 minute drive (no traffic) from downtown Portland. Walking distance to great restaurants and food trucks: (brekky at Gravy and Miss Delta were awesome), Por Que No would have been great (been to Hawthorne locale) but line wayy too long with kids and very small space so expect to wait. Also they won't do to go orders if they are too busy. Awesome food trucks a few blocks down. OK about Kermit: SO clean and modern. Lovely. MiniFridge, Micro (for heating up all those delish leftovers), flatware/plates, 4 cups, great, 2 folding chairs for sitting on front porch and everyone who walks by will say, "wow, cool house" and then you say, "oh it's a rental" then they get very intrigued. so i say airbnb look up kermit. Anyway, ladder up to loft is fine - safe enough for my 8yo and 10yo girls. THEY FREAKING LOVED THE PLACE. wanted to just stay up there and play the whole time. WISHES: one good strong knife to cut an apple for my kiddos, ran out of 1/2 remaining roll of toilet paper in bathroom, more bath towels/washcloths, wine opener, beer opener (cute one installed in kitchen cupboard would work well...other than that I'm already recommending to friends. I think you also get a flavor for the real neighborhood feel of Portland other than staying downtown in a trendy hotel like all the other outsiders. I lived in Portland for about 2 years and I have to say of course, downtown is great and walkable, but this is a neighborhood and there's nothing better than hanging with the locals in addition to some visitors...All in all, a great place to stay because of the walkable score (10/10), price, and also you can walk a few blocks to take the MAX into town and around if you feel the need. We always found a parking spot right in front of Kermit even though the street was hoppin' and we thought our parking karma would be gone. But, no. We found parking every time we needed it. I think it's Kermit Karma myself. Loved and will come back. Thanks so much - Sonya Stepanovich
