I was in Portland visiting a mate during the snow storm weekend, and Matthew's place was heavenly - it was (so, so) warm and comfortable!
You have all you need at Matthew's place... kitchen, laundry, TV, etc., and it's clean, spacious and homely!
Matthew's place is located conveniently near MLK and Alberta St. (all walking distance).
I can't fault it, and I'm most definitely staying at Matthew's place again when I head back up to Portland.
