Four of us - Grandma, Mom and Dad, and Granddaughter age 7 - spent a week in Portland, with Kim's comfortable basement apartment as our home base. We had a great time exploring the city, also enjoyed hanging out in the apartment. The space was well designed, everything was new and fresh, and we even had access to the laundry area. We appreciated the WIFI access for planning our days' outings, keeping up with an issue at home, and entertaining The Kiddo when she got tired of reading or playing with her toys. It was great to be so close to Fred Meyer, the light rail stops (half an hour from downtown), and places to eat out. There was a park and playground within walking distance. Kim had provided some basics like salad and beverages, and a thoughtful supply of kitchen implements and dishes. My new favorite place to stay when visiting Portland.
