Jeff and Katie's place is excellent.

The following are a few of the reasons I will be staying with them again next time I'm in Portland:
(1) they're very friendly and accomodating (I had a schedule change about a week out, no issues);
(2) the apartment itself is extremely clean and comfortable, and it has everything you need for a stay including excellent kitchen, bed and living room space;
(3) the location is great... Portland isn't a huge place, so it is very easy to get around town via bus or car, but this is located on a quiet street that feels miles from the 82nd street thoroghfare... but it's about 6 blocks... excellent location/access to city center AND highways to external attractions (Hood, the gorge, the coast, etc), and;
(4) short 5-minute walk from much-needed things like the Academy (movies), Bipartisan (coffee, treats) and Mt. Tabor (nature, mellow people) but still close enough to the center of the city.

Definitely recommended.
