This basement apartment was the perfect home-away-from-home for us. We were in Portland for nine nights...very busy during the day and very comfortable returning here each night. Very quiet and peaceful...It was great having a full kitchen AND a washer and dryer (which we used once). Martin and Grace were helpful with suggestions and directions when we needed them. Portland is very easy to get around and this neighborhood seemed close to everywhere we needed to go. Good bicycle access as well...Our daughter lives in Portland so I am sure we will use this airbnb in the future!! It could not have been any better for us - just as was advertised!!
