The space is a good option for a solo traveler or couple who are comfortable with close quarters and looking for a home base while exploring the Portland area. As the description notes, this is a basement apartment; the one natural light source is the window on the side door of the apartment and there are not additional windows. When spending time in the apartment I would recommend turning on all the lights, including the lights under the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom lights. The futon bed was very comfortable!
