Shannon and Sophie's place was a delight. Location is in a wonderful historic Portland close-in neighborhood within biking distance to downtown, and a short distance away from a multitude of restaurants including the fabulous NE 28th Street restaurant row. Mexican (Guero), Cuban (Pambiche), Thai (Padee), Italian (La Buca), Japanese (Bamboo Sushi), Micro brewery and restaurant (Migration), German Pub and Restaurant (Stammtich), Pizza (Pizacatto and Ranch Pizza) and a good old fashioned Long time Portland Favorite diner Holman's Bar and Grill. Sweets too, Staccato Gelato, Almas Chocolate, and Fifty Licks Ice Cream. Several Coffee outlets including Starbucks at NE 28th Ave x Burnside Ave.
So ABOUT the apartment, a wonderful separate structure all by itself with a front door and view of a well tended and mature garden. The main house is a wonderful +-1912 expression of what was then rural Portland, but now, downtown Portland is just a few minutes away. Easy access to major east-west and north-south freeways also minutes away. This is a very calm and quiet apartment. I found myself waking up early and opening the windows to let the light in and hear the birds sing. Complete with well equipped kitchen, bathroom with stand-up shower, a large closet, TV with multiple options and WIFI included, stereo (with assortment of CD's I could chose from), and a very comfy large queen bed.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat......
Very kind and accommodating hosts. A pleasure to add to our wonderful Portland experience....
