House is very nice, comfortable and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay over the Christmas holiday. Great location downtown, easy walk to many restaurants, bars and Pioneer Place/Market. Light rail and buses go right past the house so easy access to public transportation and two of our party took advantage of the light rail and had some fun adventures. However, the convenience of the light rail also meant a great deal of noise all night long and early each morning. I am a very light sleeper and even with the earplugs provided (which was considerate of the owners) the noise kept me awake. After reading all the other reviews I understand this has not been a major issue for others, but I felt it was worth bringing up. Some places I would recommend if you are new to Portland are the Duck House restaurant, (right next to the house) for very good Chinese food, the Portland City Grill (specifically if you are there over the Christmas holiday, but the views are amazing no matter what time of year), the OMSI museum (we’ve been there twice, a year apart, and both exhibits were fantastic), Petite Provence French bakery (absolutely delicious everything!), Pioneer Market for shopping and an incredibly unique store called Paxton Gate (two locations in Portland) is worth visiting! Ask for AnnMarie, she’s an excellent salesperson.
