The apartment is very clean with modern decor and bright cheerful colors throughout. The front room has abundant daylight and a view of the bustling street below. The location is part of an excellent walking neighborhood, with lovingly restored homes and huge shade trees. Check out Ladd’s Addition in particular for a bit of Portland history and beautiful rose gardens. It’s easy to walk to New Seasons market for groceries. The apartment does face a busy street (Hawthorne), so some street noise is to be expected. Mike, our host, was especially responsive and attentive to our needs.
