We found the apartment as described, and convenient and pleasant for our one night stay in Portland. As a family of four, I would find the space a little awkward for more than a night or two - there's no real communal seating or eating space (and, as advertised, not a full kitchen). But if you are planning to eat out and be exploring the city most of the time, this may not be an issue. Apartment was very clean and nicely appointed. Air conditioner (which we needed) was very noisy.
