My wife and I just got back from our trip to Portland and I couldn't recommend the Laurelhurst Loft highly enough. It's a terrific apartment in a quiet, scenic part of town within easy walking/bus distance to just about everything. The loft was extremely well-kept and looked brand new. Michele was a pleasure to deal with, and even let us store our luggage in her home for a few hours after we checked out on our last day. I truly hope to visit Portland again, and this will be the first accommodation I consider.
