This was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. I wanted something relatively close to the city, but also quiet and semi-secluded.
The apartment was impeccably clean and a delight to be in. The interior has a nice modern, but warm feel to it, and the space itself is well lit thanks to the good sun exposure. It reminded me of something you might find on Apartment Therapy— Ron and Misti, you should submit your place! They also put a lot of thought into the amenities, things like an old iphone and speakers with a great playlist, Apple TV, french press and ground coffee, local guide books, dimming lights, etc.
The location is quiet and semi-secluded, with views mostly of trees. It's a mother in law suite in Ron and Misti's backyard, but is tucked far enough back so that you still have some privacy. If there's any trade off with the location, it's that you have to walk about 10 min to get to the nearest public transit stop (Max Yellow Line). For people with a car though, I-5 is right nearby and gives convenient access to the rest of the city. I took my bike with me, which also worked out great.
Speaking of my bike, the only negative experience I had, was that someone vandalized my car's bike rack by cutting the tie-down straps in the middle of the night. It was a really odd thing to do, they didn't even take the rack, just cut the straps. If you stay here, I would advise keeping valuables out of the car and taking accessories off your trunk/roof just to be safe. Otherwise, the neighborhood felt perfectly safe and residential.
Next time I need a place in Portland, I'll definitely check back in!
