We stayed in Janie and Ginnie's place for a full week, while we were visiting Portland for a wedding. I had been to Portland many times previously and knew a lot of different neighborhoods, but hadn't been to the Mississippi District until this trip. We loved it! After a couple of days we felt like locals. The Max station is a bit of a hike (around 0.6 miles), but totally doable and a really nice walk. There is great dining both on Mississippi as well as on Williams/Vancouver (we strongly recommend Tasty and Sons),. It was actually good that the Max station was kind of far away since we ate way too much and needed to work off the calories!

The apartment itself is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and we loved the shower - it had kind of a "spa on a farm" type feel. The kitchen has everything you'd need - we were able to make breakfast for ourselves every morning.

Janie and Ginnie were wonderful hosts - very friendly and warm. Overall this was a great vacation for us, due in no small part to our hosts and the apartment!
