This apartment looks exactly as pictured. It is in a good location in SE Portland, within walking distance of excellent restaurants and a beautiful park. David, the host, is very responsive. Despite being near a reasonably busy street, we did not hear outside noises. Internally though, there is not a lot of soundproofing between this unit and the one above or the entrance hall, so one can hear the basic sounds of other tenants ( e.g. talking or walking with hard soled shoes across the floor above). Overall however, it is a good value for money in Portland.
