There were many positive aspects of our 2nd floor Portland apartment rental. Among these were:
- Excellent location, close to Hawthorne and our family who lived in the neighborhood
- Air Conditioning
- Reasonably decent beds, nice bedding and pillows
- Working WiFi
- Clean towels, soap, and shampoo
- Open floor plan

There were other aspects of the rental that did not work as well for us. These included the following:
- The floor in the apartment was not level – different rooms were an inch or two higher or lower than one another, which caused us all to stumble until we got used to this.
- There was a skylight in one of the bedrooms that was directly overhead one of the beds. When the early morning sunshine arrived, it was as if a spotlight was shining down on us, making it difficult to sleep.
- The dishwasher was not bolted down to the floor, so when we opened the door, it tried to lean out and roll the drawers onto the floor. The countertop over top of the dishwasher prevented it from coming out completely, however.
- The apartment door and the dishwasher door squeaked very loudly when being opened and closed.
- The walls and dividers were apparently very thin: It was easy to hear our neighbors (and presumably for them to hear us, though we tried to be as quiet as possible).
- The rental was somewhat minimalistic in terms of supplies: there was soap and shampoo, but no conditioner. The kitchen supplies included exactly 4 of everything (forks, knives, spoons, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs), which meant that we needed to do dishes after every meal.
Overall, our stay was decent, but we might choose a different condo next time.
