I have lived in Portland for 20 years. We stayed here while our house was being sold and it was great. We stayed with three adults, a child and our dog and had a great time. It was a vacation while staying in the city I love. We got to live in N Portland and be one block off of Mississippi which was wonderful, allowing us to easily experience so many restaurants, shops and pubs that we have wanted to for years. Easy walk to Overlook park provided a great place to take the dog to run. You wouldn't need a car to see and experience Portland staying here. It is a great location in N Portland.
