Eric's place is well kept and a great option for short- or long-term stays. I was able to work remotely during my long-term stay w/o any issues. The Lloyd District while not a hub for much activity on its own is pretty central, so you should have no trouble exploring the city whether by bike/car/public transit. The unit is on the second floor of an old condo building. The building's age is apparent as some odors seemed to linger in the hallways and you may encounter the occasional spider. However the apartment itself is clean and renovated. The interior decor is great and the kitchen and bathroom have modern touches. Never had trouble finding parking on the street a half block up and the close proximity to Safeway was convenient for groceries. Appliances like A/C, dishwasher, and washer/dryer were all available in-unit, with everything in proper working order, though the dryer may take a couple cycles to fully dry your clothes. Eric is a friendly, responsive host--he even kindly forwarded some mail to me that came after my stay had ended.
