We made our reservations late and the options were thus limited. But we were lucky to find this unit and we were very pleased with our stay. The unit was very clean, well equipped and in a good location. The kitchen was updated, the beds were comfortable and the common areas spacious. Without traffic the unit was about 10-15 minutes to downtown by car, double that by bike. But the Williams Corridor which is a 3 minute walk away and was very charming with a number of local restaurants, a lovely market, and at least 2 city bike rental locations. Our hosts were very accessible and helpful with recommendations. We happened to be there during a heat wave (and this was may be the only true downside) and air-conditioning was available only in the common area, but not in the bedrooms. But I understand that this is an infrequent occurrence in Portland. I would highly recommend Peter's place!
