Kristen's apartment is wonderful! It's in a lovely area, with lots of cafes and restaurants. It's really well equipped -- fully equipped kitchen, really nice bath products, a powerful hair drier, and the washer/drier is a huge plus! It was very hot in Portland during our stay and the basement apartment was fabulous, as it stayed very cool! As other reviewers said, there is some noise from upstairs in the mornings that may bother light sleepers, but it didn't bother us at all.
Thanks a lot, Kristen!
