Kim, without our asking, met us at the lightrail station and gave us a ride to the apartment. We were met with a greeting on the door and we entered an absolutely lovely, clean, neat apartment that was just as depicted. The one drawback, which was not Kim and Carl's fault, is that PDX was having a heat wave and the apartment is not air conditioned (for which Kim was very apologetic; she had ordered a window unit but it hadn't come). There were plenty of fans and with the windows opened, much to my surprise and relief, we slept well. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well -equipped with tea and a gift card to a local breakfast place that we used and returned to. The neighborhood is great, everything you could need is easily accessible (including the wonderful Hollywood Farmer's market where Ramona White serves the best breakfast burritos from her adorable yellow truck), to Trader Joes, etc. It was easy to get other places so we didn't use our car very often, since we were close to light rail. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it. The value was incredible, the setting was lovely, Kim was a delight. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
