I've been visiting Portland for many years, and staying in different kinds of accommodations in different neighborhoods has become part of the experience. James' apartment in the Portsmouth area was the most spotless and spacious place I've rented. He responded immediately to my messages before and on the day of arrival, and met me to provide the key and a quick, informative tour. I get around in Portland primarily by transit, and although the neighborhood is further from downtown than the others I've stayed in, it's conveniently served by a number of bus lines. I had a great stay and highly recommend James as a host!
