We truly enjoyed our stay at this location. The neighborhood is lovely; situated near the base of Mt Tabor and is exactly a 2 mile run uphill to the top of the park (for those of you who enjoy running or walking.) It's a very green area, with many fruit trees, flowers, and vegetable gardens even in front of people's homes. We felt very safe there, even when venturing out very early in the morning.
David is a very good host; quick to respond to questions and helpful. The apartment was exactly as described, and very neat and clean, with new carpet and a comfortable bed. We enjoyed having a full service kitchen so that we could prepare our own meals. David also allowed us to do a load of laundry, allowing us to continue our travels with clean clothing.
We happily discovered a few nice coffee shops (open at 6:00 am!) very near the apartment, and many other small eateries within walking distance.
It was an excellent experience for us, and we are happy to recommend the apartment to anyone staying in the Portland area. Thank you, David, for offering this great little apartment!
