I stayed in Daniel's apartment for two nights over New Year's Eve weekend. It was a perfect place to end the year and start a new year. It is within easy walking distance of Belmont and Hawthorne meaning lots of restaurants, bars, shops. A Safeway is a block or so away as well. It is close to other Portland neighborhoods by car, public transportation, long walks, running, etc. I poked around in the cabinets and found everything I needed. Check in/out was easy, found street parking nearby without a problem, and Daniel is extremely responsive.
