I arrived in Portland on January first to start my new job. I decided to rent a place for four weeks and search my own apartment during this time.
It was the best decision and I made! It was not just a place to stay, it was a wonderful experience!

Taizz made me feel like home from the first moment I entered the house. She helped me with all questions I had and was always there for me, when I needed help. She showed me around in her car, we went grocery shopping together and even helped me to find furniture and move into my new apartment! She really puts an effort in making everyone feel at home in her house. I tried her home-brewed Kombucha and she even made apple pie every Sunday morning!

The room was nice and spacious with everything you need: a desk to work, a bed, shelves, wardrobe, ... The house is very clean, nicely decorated and has a warm atmosphere. The common areas can be used for every one and the kitchen is great. I loved to cook there in the evenings or on weekends. There are two bathrooms, one in the ground floor and one in the first floor. I shared my apartment with Taizz, which worked perfectly. Also there is free Wifi in the whole house and you can use the washing machine anytime.

The area is well connected - bus number 35 is 4 min walk away and goes towards Downtown (15 min) and the Max stop is 12 min walk away. Also Taizz offers bikes to rent, which is great option to get around Portland.

Perfect place for: single travelers, business travelers, people who plan to move to Portland and are looking for a place for the first weeks

Might not be ideal for: People who don't like animals, families

It was a wonderful time and I will definitely send all my relatives there, who will come and visit me in Portland!
