Really enjoyed our stay! We were welcomed with beer and goodies in the fridge and while we mostly either had sandwiches or ate out the kitchen seems to be well stocked with all the implements for doing your own cooking. Bed and futon were comfortable. Space was comfortable for two adults and a dog, much more would probably be crowded. Apartment is close to a commercial road which made it easy to get in and out of the neighborhood. Also several cool bars and night spots in the area. We ate at the Portland Mercado both nights that we were in, great place and great food. Never had a reason to meet the host but he checked in with us and was very responsive to messages. Finding and accessing the apartment was easy. Only minor negative was that a lot of near street parking was taken up by other residents of the house and we were asked to move our vehicle within 5 minutes of arriving. Apartment is best suited for quieter people because of the proximity of the downstairs neighbors. We didn't have any issues but noisy, rowdy people might. All in all I would stay again if I'm in Portland!
