If I were to go to Portland as a visitor I would get an air bnb in inner SE near the Clinton Neighborhood. lots to do and see there, lots of bikeways, easy access to downtown/Springwater corridor. Waterfront.
Someone else mentioned SW. As an "Eastsider" I am admittedly biased but SW is STEEP in a lot of places. Depends on your legs how much you will like that. SE has some hills for sure but you can also go along way following the river too. Search for the Portland Bike Map online its a great resource.
