We put in a last-minute booking request late at night and David replied really quickly! We stayed for one night. The apartment is fairly close to downtown (about a 15-20 minute walk to the Portland Art Museum, for example). The neighborhood is fun to walk around in--parking is not free, but not very expensive (around $2/hr I think?), and is free on Sundays and holidays. The photos are true to how the apartment looks; it has amazing vintage charm with beautiful windows and a nice view of the neighborhood. Overall a great place.
