Oly's Pizza is in easy walking distance. There is a QFC grocery store (with a Redbox DVD rental) and nail salon 3 blocks away.

GETTING AROUND
Fantastic access to public transportation - see the Portland TriMet website. Also, I-84 is about .3 miles away. It connects to I-5 and I-205 easily.
From the Airport -
It is about $35+tip for a 15 minute cab ride from the airport to my home, $26 by Lyft or Uber or $2.80 for a 40 minute ride via MAX train to 60th, then bus 71 to Burnside and then about 2 minutes walk. Or you can walk 0.4 mile from the MAX train 60th stop to my home.
TriMet Bus and MAX Light Rail (train) Access
One 2.5 hour fare is $2.80 or $5.60 for an all day pass. Half price for senior/youth. If you download the Trimet Hop app, you can purchase tickets through the app and show your phone to the driver. Beats looking for exact change!
The Route 20 bus stop is just 1 block away, easily taking you into the downtown area in about 20 minutes.
The Route 71 bus stop is just 1 block away, if you want to ride to the 60th Ave MAX Station or take the bus to Clackamas Town Center.
The NE 60th Ave MAX Station
Located .4 mile from my home. It serves the Red, Blue and Green lines providing easy access to almost anywhere in Portland.
You can also use Uber or Lyft (these are ride sharing services - they are the equivalent of a taxi) to inexpensively get around Portland. You will need to download the apps to your cell phone to use them. Let me know if you want to use these and I can send you a link for free credits if you are a new user.
By Car
If you have a car, it is really easy to get from my place to most of Portland. Downtown is about 10 minutes. Lloyd Center is 10 minutes. Airport is 10-12 minutes. There is free ample street parking at my location.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
This is my home. I use the main floor when there are no guests. While you are staying with me, I will be in the basement apartment. It has it's own entrance, so you don't need to worry about me going through while you are staying with me. You will not have access to my office on the main floor. The door to the office on the main floor will remain closed and locked during your stay.
