Mike is an extremely communicative and accommodating host and the place is exactly as described. It’s definitely small, and I would say utilitarian, but the layout is a smart use of space and it’s plenty if you’re not planning to host or spread out too much during your stay. (Three of us cooking a meal took some creative maneuvering but we managed. We would’ve cooked elsewhere but needed the AC). You can hear the upstairs neighbors at times but nothing excessive. Note there is a gate and stairs to access the apartment. Overall my dad was comfortable staying here on his own while he visited Portland, and it was an excellent location to bounce off from. Thanks again, Mike!
