Cara's above garage space was overall a good experience. The apartment was well stocked with all the supplies I needed including laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee, and towels. It was great having a high quality dishwasher, laundry machine, and dryer in the apartment.
The location was safe and within walking distance to local coffee shops, restaurants, and bus lines.
The only problem I had was an ant infestation that persisted through my entire stay. Cara was happy to supply traps and ant gel, but those didn't quite get rid of all of them. Luckily I was rarely in the apartment so my stay was hardly impacted by the ants, but I feel like it need be mentioned for those who might find it less tolerable.
This apartment is great for a solo travelers or a two people looking to get out and explore Portland, though maybe not ideal for those looking to lounge around all day.
