Mike's place is the perfect location with quick access to many areas in Portland, perfect for large families (like ours of seven) and street parking is easy to find. Check in and check out was easy as well. Enjoyed watching Netflix and YouTube on the tv. Apartment was fairly quiet and we didn't notice any noise from the street. Mike is easy to communicate with and quickly responded when we found folded wet towels on every bed upon check in. He even offered to have someone drop off dry ones (which we declined and dried ourselves). There were some other issues with Mike's place such as a slow tub drain, advertising signs covering entire window in one room and the dryer that didn't work properly. There is no ice maker or ice cube trays in the freezer but there is a 7-11 conveniently located across the street where we bought ice. Also note that there are more flights of stairs to the unit than shown in the listing - apartment is on the 3rd floor.
