Our host emailed us several times before we arrived offering us suggestions about what to do in Portland, several ways to get to his home from the airport, and how to enter the apartment through a key pad since we were arriving late in the evening. He urged us to knock on his door to get acquainted. The apartment looks brand new and is beautifully decorated, with a kitchen and bathroom you might see in a decorating magazine. The furniture was comfortable and the large TV made it very comfortable to relax after a busy day.
