This is a very spacious basement apartment, with a HUGE bedroom, full-size kitchen with eating area, and a relatively small "living room". Unless you want to watch TV, you probably won't spend any time in the living room. The bathroom is on the opposite end of the apartment from the bedroom; not a big deal but I was glad to have brought my slippers for night-time treks to use the potty.
As others have said in their reviews, the kitchen is well stocked with items for meal and snack preparation (including a coffee press and various coffee beans, ground or whole). And we really appreciated all the info and recommendations provided in the electronic guide and in the apartment itself (lots of brochures, maps, menus from local dining spots). Be sure to check out New Seasons Market, a short walk from the apartment - wish we had such a fine store so close to our house! We also enjoyed the tacos at Porque No on Mississippi, and had a delicious breakfast at Tasty & Sons on Williams (the french toast with rhubarb maple compote was amazing!). And if you go to Pok Pok Noi, you have to get the fish sauce chicken wings - they are the best!!
We had a rental car since we wanted to take day trips to Columbia River Gorge and to do some wine tasting in Williamette valley; there was no issues with parking on the street in front of their house.
This was our first time ever in Portland, and next time we come back we will definitely want to stay here again.
Great place in a great location!!
