Steven's place was wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay very much. We visited Portland for a convention. The apartment with private entry is located in a charming neighborhood (I loved to see all houses surrounded by plants and vegetation), with plenty of shopping, restaurants and coffee shops at walking distance, all with charm and character, plus great food! The place was also really close, about 5 minutes drive from the Oregon Convention Center Downtown. We had a car, and Steven graciously provided us ample parking space in front of the house. If you don't have a car, I have noted nearby public transportation stops, so getting around is easy with the public lines as well. The apartment was wonderful, ample space, large living room, bedroom, plenty of storage space in walk-in closet, all-stocked full kitchen and bathroom. The apartment was sparkling clean, cozy, loved the plant-themed artwork on the walls :). Overall, Steven's place is a wonderful, quiet getaway, in a charming neighborhood, no matter whether you are there for business or just a vacation to visit Portland and its surroundings. The house also has a charming backyard with some impressive, huge trees, which make for a cozy morning spent drinking coffee outdoors or a quiet afternoon reading a book. Overall, we loved staying at Steven's place. While we did not have any extra needs, they live in the house as well, upstairs, so you know, that there is someone you can turn to for anything if need be, at your fingertips, which is also reassuring. Would love to return and rent from Steven again if back in Portland in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
