The Nest is one of the best apartment/studio units we have stayed in. The vaulted, cedar lined ceiling truly opens the place up. The interior is very clean (and new) with a well stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom, very nice bed, and plenty of room and privacy for a stay in Portland. The area was quiet with ample, safe parking. Groceries, restaurants, a drug store, and other amenities are within a short walking distance. Access to downtown Portland is straight forward and relatively hassle free, as was our access to Vancouver, WA. Elisabeth and Jay's apartment will be on our "return to" list for sure. Totally a 5 star place. Enjoy!
