The apartment was far more roomy than I had expected. It was very quiet while not being too far from some of the best places to eat in town. We enjoyed playing some pool and getting to lounge comfortably in the evening on the giant sectional sofa. Having a full kitchen available was something that I appreciated and had we been staying more than just one night I am sure I would have taken full advantage of it. Tanja was a very welcoming host and put together a binder with great local recommendations for a variety of activities. She was friendly, made us feel comfortable, but also respected our privacy. I definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in NE Portland.
