Christopher and Ngone were great hosts - there when we needed them but not in our faces. I was there for surgery and my husband and daughter stayed in the studio. There are a number of stairs up to the apartment but in my case they were not an impediment. Christopher and Ngone were always within a short communication away. They were very helpful about which pharmacy to use, etc. They were very responsive to all questions. The apartment is on a fairly busy corner but after the first couple of nights we didn't hear traffic and, to be honest, there really isn't that much (we live on an island so any traffic seems like a lot!). The apartment is in a residential area with lots of trees. It is about the closest place we could find to OHSU which is where I was. Thank you!
