What a marvelous place to stay. A garden level apartment which is truly in a garden. That is, the Irvington neighborhood is filled with flowers, birdsong, and huge old trees. The house is just a block from Broadway Street's good food and retail. It was a pleasure to walk everywhere and take the bus downtown. The apartment's kitchen is well stocked; the bathroom has lovely soap and shampoo. Jim and Robert are long-time residents, and they shared helpful stories about the neighborhood, as we were house hunting. One of the first days of our stay, I used a book they provided to take a walking tour of the historic houses throughout Irvington. All in all, a delightful home base for exploring Portland.
