As first-time tourists, both my boyfriend and I loved the stay: convenient location, quiet and safe neighbourhood, and super stylish apartment! Steve lives right downstairs and responds quickly. Almost everything you need (and more) is prepared (including coffee machine and record player!!!). Walking distance to a nice grocery store and Alberta food area (and Steve left helpful local info booklets on the table). Easy access to downtown and other touristy places: we had a car, but Portland city area is not huge anyway. Parking is very convenient and free on street, and parking in the entire Portland is not so difficult in general.
