The perfect place to stay! Laura and Christine were both great hosts. We always had our questions answered and even got great tips for the area.
The space is immaculately clean and very well decorated. Please note that if you are a person that needs a ton of space, you will be disappointed. However, for the two of us, the space was perfect and quaint. The shower is HUGE and has the perfect water pressure for the rainfall showerhead. The bed was comfortable and sheets were soft and warm. The kitchenette has everything you need for a short stay if you want to make simple meals but due to Portland's amazing food scene, we ate out the whole time. Public transit is simple and directly accessible from right outside the apartment. We strongly recommend anyone to use the public transit system because it was the best way to get around the city and save time and money (and frustration) on parking downtown. Laura and Christine also add small touches that make all the difference like cold water bottles in the fridge and coffee for the coffee maker.
You could hear the traffic a bit at night but not enough to bother us. We never struggled with parking and there is a grocery store and a pharmacy right next door. I wish we had been able to enjoy the gorgeous patio but it rained our whole stay. However, the fire was lit when we arrived which I thought was a nice, welcoming touch.
I would recommend this to any single or couple travelers who want a simple, clean and convenient place to take a hot shower and lay your head at the end of a busy day.
