First time in Portland and I had a great stay! This basement apartment is clean and quiet, and while I worried when I first arrived that I would be far from downtown, it was a quick 10 minute drive. Short walk/drive to groceries, coffee, a nice little park, and more. Residential neighborhood with easy street parking. The owners live upstairs, but the apartment and its separate entrance provide full privacy, and Shannon & Claudius are available if you need anything or are looking for recommendations. Kitchen provides the essentials (mini fridge, microwave, and most importantly wine glasses!) but checking out Portland's restaurant scene is a better bet than planning to make elaborate meals here. Great place to relax and get some shuteye when you're done exploring the city for the day!
