This basement apartment is the perfect place to stay in Portland. We love this specific neighborhood and the location of Leslie's place is right in the heart of it. The apartment is easy to get to from the freeway, it's away from downtown's current protesting, there are many restaurants and shops open along both 21st and 23rd avenues, even during the COVID-19 quarantine, and it's 7 minutes away from Washington Park, which includes the Oregon Zoo, museums, Arboretum and several gardens.
The listing's description is accurate, the place was very clean and had real floral bouquets. The gift basket created just for us and our kids, was a bonus. In looking at the listing's pictures, improvements have actually been made since some of the images were taken, so not all of the pictures do it justice.
The neighbors are very friendly. The yard is shared, but everyone's very respectful. Our kids enjoyed playing with the yard toys and my 9 year old was super excited to see that the space had the Oregon Trail board game. The wall heater works well (we have a similar one, so it was easy for us to use,) and the first bedroom's bed was great for our kids, including our toddler who slept safely against the wall.
We would consider returning!
