Fred was a very organized and responsive host, communicating all of the relevant information we needed to check in smoothly, including perfect instructions for how to take the Max and streetcar from the airport to within a few blocks of the flat.
The apartment itself was perfectly located just of NW 23rd and perfectly appointed. Spacious and comfortable and quiet with all of the necessary comforts, including fast Wifi; it was just as represented.
The surrounding neighborhood, with easy access to Downtown, Old Town and the Pearl District, is tailor made for shopping and strolling and dining. Lots of great restaurants and bars and even grocery stores, including Trader Joe's and Fred Meyer. Plus, it was an easy walk to gorgeous Washington Park and both the Rose Test and Japanese gardens.
All in all, a perfect Portland getaway.
