Staying at Michele's loft was a fantastic experience. The photos are totally spot-on, but they really don't capture the beautiful quality of light in the apartment — I loved waking up (in a supremely comfortable bed!) to the sunlight streaming through the trees and into the skylights. The location was perfect for my trip: I was in town for a conference, but all the materials, books, and brochures that were in the loft made me wish I had more time in Portland to visit everything! Even though we never met in person, Michele was incredibly communicative and answered all my questions about Portland. The one thing I'd mention to anyone looking at the Loft is that the ceilings, especially in the bathroom and bedroom areas, are quite low — I'm 5'9" and had to duck a little in certain spots, so anyone taller than that might be uncomfortable. That said, I had a great time at the Loft and would hands-down recommend staying here to anyone visiting Portland!
