This place has everything you'd need, we only used the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, and for dinner our last evening as we packed up for an early flight, but everything we needed, and more was there. The apartment is new, bright, and clean. Well appointed it more then comfortable. It was the perfect home base for our stay.
There is a 24-hr convenience store within 5 mins walk on SE 12th Ave (where you can a bus card) , and a lovely grocery store with great selection a few mins walk beyond that on Belmont. There are also a few places to eat along Stark and a little further north along Burnside.
The 15 (Morrison West bound/Belmont Eastbound) bus stop is 1-2min walk; this bus runs frequently and will take you within a few blocks walk of wherever you may want to explore in the city. We took the route 20 (Burnside) bus out of the city one day; this route seems more direct, but traffic actually makes it slower then the 15.
The Portland bus card is flexible, you can load it with what ever balance you choose. The bus costs $2.50 and the maximum charge (with a card) is $5/day. So I just loaded each bus card with $5 x the number of days we were in the city.
The city of Portland is divided into NW, NE, SW and SE making it easy to get your bearings; and many North/South running streets are numbered. The city blocks are small, making it very walkable.
