Maren's space was a fantastic addition to our Portland vacation experience. While Maren was away during our stay, Kevin was more than helpful in helping us get settled in and answering any potential questions (such as the location of the nearest sports bar). The space itself was quite accommodating. The bed was just as comfortable, if not more comfortable, than your standard 3 star hotel. The kitchen was well-equipped, containing everything one would potentially need for a brief stay (including complimentary coffee). While small, the bathroom has been upgraded with modern fixtures that allow for efficiency and efficacy. Our favorite aspect of the space was the private deck, even though the persistent rain did not allow us to enjoy the deck as much as we would have liked.

In addition to the physical space, Maren had also compiled a binder full of helpful information about the city of Portland, including maps and brochures of the city, along with a personal listing of Maren's favorite nearby spots. The location of this space is fantastic. During our 3 day stay, we walked everywhere we wanted to go in Portland. Hawthorne and Division Streets are very close, giving one access to many small shops and tons of restaurants. Downtown Portland is only a 15-20 minute walk, or you can hop on the bus at the stop two blocks away from the apartment and be downtown in a matter of minutes.

Overall, it was a fantastic stay and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Portland if we go back.

(Oh yeah - the wifi also worked tremendously well. Kudos.)
