Nathan and Liz's place is comfortable and in a nice homey neighborhood, close to Powell and Division Streets with all their amenities but without the bustle and noise. Quick trip to downtown. Communications were easy and timely. Nice big refrigerator, and ample cooking supplies. The mattress on the main bed is like a very thick foam pad and doesn't have as much structure as a regular mattress, so it's softer. I wasn't uncomfortable sleeping because I'm not picky about the firmness of a mattress, but the edges tend to squish down when you sit on them. If you need a firm mattress, this may not be the best for you. The bedding is ample, and the apartment is plenty comfortable and attractive. Ask ahead of time if you need coffee -- I didn't find any (but didn't ask). If you're lucky, you'll run into the hosts for a nice chat! Very pleasant Portland people.
