We had a great time staying at Mike's place! It was our first time visiting Portland and the location of the apt was great and close to lots of yummy food spots. The apt was in a residential area and we felt very safe with the coded gate out front. Mike let us drop off our luggage before check-in which was very convenient, as we had arrived in Portland the night before. The inside of the apt was very clean and we slept well on the comfy beds. You could hear the people above from time to time but they tended to be more quiet at night so it was not too much of a nuisance. I would definitely recommend booking at Mike's place if you want a smooth and easy stay in Portland.
