Joel was a great host! We're kind of a private group so we didn't get to meet him but the communication was fast and easy. His place was perfect. The one and only thing was no microwave but there was a stove and plenty of kitchen utensils that is was not a big deal. The location is great, parking was very easy, and we had plenty of room in the apartment! Pillows and bed are super comfy as well. Whatever laundry soap they use smells soooo good! Having a small washer and dryer is a super plus too! We would highly recommend and hopefully if we ever make it back to Portland we would stay here again. Thanks again Joel!
