Location: Excellent neighborhood, very quiet. Close to restaurants, convenient store etc. In terms of moving around to see Portland, I would highly recommend a rental car, unless you don’t mind taking public transport.
The Apartment:. Clean, quiet, very comfortable bed. Only thing I personally didn’t like, the shower is very small and also the bathroom is very small.
The apartment needs shades. It has very thin see through drapes which I felt not privacy and also too much light goes through. But a good heavy drape will fix that problem to give the renters privacy and also to block the daylight, specially to sleep in.
