The apartment is great. Nicely renovated apartment in an older building. Windows in the living room look out onto the street. Apartment is located on the corner of a lively little section of Portland packed with restaurants and shops and really close to the freeway.
Couple of things of note:
- This is an older building, which means that the walls are thin and the windows aren't double paned. You will hear everything. I didn't mind hearing the street noise because to me it added to the charm of the neighborhood. You'll hear other people in the building but everyone respected quiet hours.
- This apartment doesn't have it's own parking spot. There is street parking, but it's paid Mon-Sat from 9-7 and can be hard to come by because of the location. We lucked out finding a spot right in front when we checked in at 4:00 Saturday, paid till 7:00 and then had free parking till check out Sunday morning. Hayden suggested a lot within walking distance.
- The shower is small, but had great hot water so it wasn't a big deal. Also had a dispenser for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
- A lot of stuff in previous reviews were fixed when by the time we got there: there are now blinds on all of the windows, the hot water works in the bathroom sink, the bathroom window is frosted, and there's now a bathroom mirror. That shows that Hayden really listened to people who've rented his place.
