We had a great experience at the Portlandia Pad. We loved staying in a neighborhood. We brough our 3 1/2 year old daughter, and the apartment was convenient with having a kitchen and futon. It was across the street from a playground. It is close walking distance to shops, coffee, restaurants and downtown. Sarah made us feel very welcome, even providing local coffee, beverage selection, and even a small gift for our little one. She also had items available in the apartment if needed, from dishes to bandaids to batteries and razors. The apartment was clean and cute. Check-in and check-out were very easy. The shower is a bit small, but other than that, we had no complaints. I would definitely stay there again should we return to Portland.
