First of all, the bed is very comfy! You'll sleep very well here. The apartment is a short walk (three blocks) to Mississippi St. All the bars, restaurants, stores, coffee and/or tea shops are close by. There's also a big park across the street! The apartment is on the ground floor (think basement, but ground level), gets plenty of light, is very clean and quiet. You can occasionally hear some walking / talking from the owners upstairs, but they are aware and shouldn't be a concern. There aren't any plates, but you are provided with silverware, glasses, small fridge / freezer, a microwave, coffee maker and a television. We did have a small issue with the WiFi, but was cleared up quickly by the owner and should't be an ongoing problem. The television is nice and they have Netlfix and some other apps so you can catch up on your movies or shows. The bathroom has everything you'll need, so if you forget your hairdryer, don't worry! An ironing board and iron are in the closet as well as a couple of umbrellas. You can't go wrong with booking this place for your next visit to Portland! Cheers
