Getting to Portland
Portland is a fantastic city to visit. Don't miss the International Rose Test Gardens, Forest Park, and strolling up streets like NE Alberta, NE Hawthorne and SE Division for great food, shops, breweries, etc.
Our Airbnb is a straight shot south of Portland. You can drive to the city center within 20-30 minutes depending on traffic by heading straight up Hwy 99E. Alternatively you can take I-205 N.
Using public transport will take around 1 - 2 hours, depending on where you'd like to go. There are a number of bus stops in our neighborhood. Ubers and Lyfts are also available in the area.
