Like many of the other reviewers, our first shout-out goes to Fred for being a great host, and answering questions so quickly, and being so available!

This place (Artful Life 2) is right where you want to be if you're thinking of staying in Portland - it's literally feet from NW23rd street which has a ton of restaurants, bars, shops, and is very close to public transit - we didn't have a car and with the exception of a few cab rides - walked everywhere!

The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and a great place to lay our heads for the night before heading back out on the town and the building, while having what we think is several other tenants, was super quiet.

Oh, and providing some quarters to do laundry and the chocolate upon arrival was a nice touch - thanks so much!

Thank you Fred for making our first trip to Portland more special with your apartment!
