Tony was available by phone and lives right next door so I could ask him any questions about Portland or how to get places. The Reed area of Portland is beautiful and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The apartment shares a stoop and a wall with the main house, but feels quite individual. There is plenty of room, with a little living room, a fully functional kitchen and a comfortable bed. The futon couch could fold out to create another sleeping space. Excellent value in Portland, which is pretty pricey. It is easy to bike to pretty much anywhere I wanted to go.
