I stayed in Michelle's condo for 2 months. I was either working from the apartment during the day, or working at night (in the hospital) and sleeping during the day, so needed a quiet, peaceful refuge. Michelle's place was just the spot! With the exception of an occasional thud, or the sound of a neighbor's door closing (which never disrupted my work or sleep - and I'm 11 on a 10-point noise sensitivity scale), the apartment was blessedly tranquil. (The remote sounds of the MAX Light Rail and train whistles - audible almost everywhere in NW and SW Portland - did not bother me a bit from my perch on the twentieth floor). There is major construction next door to the building, but I could not hear any of it in Michelle's apartment (which faced the opposite direction). Michelle was very sweet and responsive. She bought a desk where I could work (more comfortably than at the elevated dining room table), and also purchased Apple TV when something happened to the Sony Bravia's internet connection. That's going above and beyond! She may even have installed blackout shades in the bedroom especially for me (prior to my arrival), as she knew that I had to sleep during the day. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The location is great; there were whole weeks when I didn't use my car (securely parked in Michelle's protected parking spot), as all of downtown and the Pearl are within easy walking distance. Laundry was a breeze with the building's ample, convenient, cost-free washers and dryers. I've stayed at about a dozen Airbnbs (often for extended periods) over the past 7 years, and Michelle's place was in the top 3 for sure. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
