We had a wonderful stay at ArtFulLife II. Fred gave really clear instructions so finding the place and getting in was really easy. The flat is spacious and stylishly decorated and appliances are clean, modern, and work well. The bed was really comfy. High speed internet and basic cable TV are included. The one tiny issue we had (blown light bulb) was dealt with quickly by Fred - although Fred doesn't live in the building he was always at the end of a phone call / email and has contractors locally to respond promptly. There is a washer and dryer in the basement. About the only negative I could think of is that if you are > 6'2 you might find the shower ceiling too low.

The flat is located in the beautiful alphabet district of Portland within easy walking distance of plenty of interesting restaurants, bars, and shops. It's only a few blocks to the Portland streetcar which will take you downtown.

IMO putting together the quality of the flat and the location makes this really great value for money. If you are exploring the city you don't need a car as public transport is good and relatively cheap. Downtown or the Pearl is easily reachable - roughly a 25min walk or 10mins on the streetcar - but you have all kinds of great food and drink right on your doorstep.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Portland, whether for a few days or a few weeks. The next time I visit Portland I hope ArtFulLife II is available as I would definitely stay again.
