Bob and Karen are great hosts. They are available to assist with any needs, help or concerns. Their place is well furnished and tastefully furnished. It is easy to keep clean and has all the needed amenities for a short or long stay. Parking, garbage and recycling are very conveniently located as is a small market, jogging/cycling routes and a short walk to the Pearl District or Saturday Market.
It has a great view directly out to the Willamette River and a few neighbor apartments which if you are not accustomed to apartment living you easily get used to. Additionally it is close to train tracks which is a plus if you are into trains and a background noise that beats possible alternatives.
