Jacek's apartment is excellent for a short-medium length stay in NW Portland. The apartment is on the lower ground floor entered from the side of the main house. On entry there is a bathroom on the left with very good shower and then a utility room on the right with hanging space, cupboards and washing machine/drier. The main space is a reasonable size with kitchen at one end, dining area in the centre and carpeted living room taking up most of the space; there is a sofa, good sized desk for working, TV with Amazon, Netflix etc. Bedroom is off the dining room and has an OK double bed although it is very slightly too wide for the room so there is only a bedside table on one side. Kitchen has everything you could wish for and had a stock of 'essentials' like salt, pepper, balsamic, tea, and a coffee maker; we cooked at the apartment a fair amount despite the plethora of local restaurants.
For those who don't know it, Portland is a welcoming city with plenty to do and see. The apartment is bang in the middle of the NW area, next to 23rd Avenue for cafes, eateries, clothes shops; 21st Avenue has a multitude of small bars. Everything is walking distance including the two main supermarkets (both quite upmarket). The city centre is about 20 minutes walk to the Performing Arts Centre, Museum, Chinese Garden, Saturday Market, Farmer's Market, etc. In the other direction it's about 20 minute walk to woodland trails and up to the Japanese Garden, Zoo, arboretum, Pittock Mansion. Don't miss the Peculiarium! Streets are helpfully in alphabetical order - it's the Alphabet District.
NW Portland is wonderfully green with tremendous displays of street planting from 150 year old trees to recent additions of acers, rhododendrons, irises, tree peonies, etc. A Lovely place to spend a few days.
The only downside to the apartment is that it is in the lower ground part of the building and there is no natural light in the dining/living room areas; and you can't really sit outside as its hemmed in by the house and adjacent buildings. So no dining on the veranda watching the sun go down, but other than that, Fab!
