Steve's place is great! Definitely the best option for bang for your buck in Portland. The location is pretty close to the main Hawthorne strip with restaurants bars etc.
The neighborhood is safe, beautiful and clean. Parking is easy and access to the apartment is easy as well.
The only thing to know about this place is that its a downstairs unit from the main home, so the walls are a little thin sometimes with the family but other then that its a gem.
