Close to many shops and restaurants in a very vibrant neighborhood. Backyard has a picnic table and two lounge chairs which make for a very delightful place to spend some time. Interior of the apartment is very utilitarian. Seating within the apartment is a challenge as it’s not very comfortable. Kitchen and appliances were fully functional. There is a single washer and a single dryer shared by the entire building. These are located in the basement. There is a cost associated with using those machines. Interior air circulation requires opening heavy windows. We were able to secure a second fan to help during a very warm time in Portland. A vacuum and broom are available in a hall closet. Stayed for a month .
