This was a great trip. Despite being on vacation out of the country herself, Michele made sure to communicate all the details we'd need to access the loft.

The loft itself was comfortable and much more spacious than I'd expected - as well as being well stocked with towels, dishes/silverware, blankets, pillows, tv and the like. The host also has a super-informative well-organized binder to let you know how everything works, and what amenities there are in the neighborhood. I will say that the fold-out couch is not super comfortable for sleeping, but it'd be fine for kids or people who never grunt when they get up. The bed *is* super comfortable. The shower ceiling is on the low side - at 5'6" I was fine but I think anyone over 6' might be a little uncomfortable. The loft is air-conditioned and has a good fan so this spot is comfortable even on 90 degree days.

I really enjoyed the neighborhood as well - it's a quick bus ride to downtown, and a short walk to lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries, a grocery store, and a movie theatre. I'd definitely suggest downloading the TriMet & Transit apps - they'll let you know when the bus/train/streetcar is coming and where, and let you pay your fare online so you don't have to fumble for exact change. It's so nice to get out of downtown and feel like you're in a real living city - so many downtowns feel the same.
