We appreciated the walkability of the neighborhood - just a couple blocks to great restaurants and bars, and about six blocks to the Crystal Ballroom where our music festival was happening, and Powell's bookstore. The security of Corbett's place was also appreciated - locking gate into the grounds, and then a secure entrance to the apartment. The basement apartment is clean and light, and nicely decorated. The kitchen is really just an efficiency kitchenette, not sufficient for cooking meals as there is no water in there, but perfect for coffee or cocktails in the evening. We chose to eat out all meals so it wasn't an issue - after all, when you come to a foodie capitol, who wants to cook? Corbett and Jessalyn were good hosts - clear instructions, friendly communications, and their apartment is as described. We would recommend this for visitors to Portland.
