About the neighborhood
The house sits in North Portland's Boise-Eliot area, where Mississippi Avenue is the main attraction. Mississippi Studios and The 1905 have great live music. The Mississippi Marketplace food cart pod and Prost! are a short walk away, Broder Nord serves Scandinavian-style brunch and Lovely's Fifty Fifty is known nationally for its pizza. Mississippi Records and The Meadow add record browsing and specialty shopping, and the Mississippi Street Fair fills the avenue every July.
Williams Avenue runs parallel with its own stretch of restaurants and bars, and the Alberta Arts District is the next neighborhood over for galleries and independent shops. For green space, Overlook Park and Peninsula Park, home to the Peninsula Park Rose Garden, are both nearby. Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is also in the area, which suits guests visiting family or working healthcare contracts.
TriMet's Yellow Line light rail stops at the Albina/Mississippi and Overlook Park stations, with a direct route toward downtown Portland. Guests who plan to drive should know that parking along Mississippi Avenue itself can be tight on busy evenings, which is why the off-street space at the house is convenient.

Getting around
Getting around the Mississippi Avenue area is easy on foot. Most guests walk to dinner, coffee, and live music, and a car is helpful for day trips but not required for a stay centered on the neighborhood.
If you are bringing a car, the house has off-street parking for 1 car. Parking along Albina Avenue itself is easiest during the day, but can be tight on busy evenings, so the off-street space off the alley is worth using rather than circling the avenue.
For trips across the city, TriMet's Yellow Line light rail stops at the Albina/Mississippi and Overlook Park stations and runs toward downtown Portland. Portland's bike lane network connects the neighborhood to Williams Avenue and the Alberta Arts District, and Lyft and Uber are widely available when you would rather not drive.
Portland International Airport is roughly 20 to 25 minutes away by car, depending on traffic. Interstate 5 runs close to the house, which makes driving to downtown Portland, the Columbia River, and points south straightforward.
