Sarah's rental is so great. It's right on the sidewalk of a side street, a short walk from fantastic coffee, beer, and food. I've been to Portland roughly a dozen times, so this time we did the neighborhood experience and stayed mostly in Laurelhurst. Screen Door alone is worth the stay, but there's something for everyone.
The pad is on the smaller side, as you would expect from a city apartment. It's arguably a studio, since the bedroom isn't doored off (but rather hallway-ed off) from the kitchen. But it's perfect for couples, and it is thoughtfully set up with everything you need to cook, clean, and do your laundry. The neighborhood is really quiet, though you will hear the upstairs neighbors walking around.
I rented the apartment thinking it would have a proper workstation, but it doesn't. There's a coffee table and a couch you can work off of. The wifi was a little finicky, and one workday it was impossible to take video calls (I had to use my work phone as a hotspot). I probably wouldn't choose this place if I had a busy work week with lots of video calls, but for the quiet week I turned out to have, it was fine.
We're happy we stayed here! Looking forward to our next trip to PDX!
