A wonderful, comfortable apartment in a great location! On a very quiet street but very close to lots of great restaurants, bars, wine stores, and more. It is not the most convenient location for public transportation but it worked great for us. It was an easy 30 minute walk to the convention center (we were in Portland for a meeting) and within 20 minutes you can hook up to the streetcar and loop downtown (there is a stop right in front of the Saturday Farmers Market at PSU -- check it out!) and connect to the MAX line. And if you have a bike it is a breeze to get around. Kris was a great host,not at all intrusive but there with a quick answer to any questions. Next time we are in Portland we will definitely see if Kris' apartment is available
