We loved staying at Allyson and Jose's lovely apartment. Location was great - we could take a walk around the quiet neighborhood, and Alberta was within easy walking distance as well. The apartment was well decorated and perfectly prepared with all necessities as described, plus more. An LP player made our evening at home more home-like, and coffee, tea and chocolate on the kitchen table boosted up our energy when we arrived - after 10+ hour flight and 3+ hour drive.
Having a 'home' while exploring a new city made our trip exciting and relaxing. Portland was great as expected. We would love to come back, and when we come back, we would love to stay here again.
