I just completed a 5 week stay in Naomi's sweet studio. I'd highly recommend if you are staying in Portland and want to get a feel for the real Portland, you should stay here. The neighborhood is great, an easy walk to Williams, Alberta, and Mississippi.

The apartment had everything I needed for an extended stay. It was easy for me to cook in the apartment so that I didn't need to spend money eating out all the time. Whole Foods is close by along with the Alberta Co-op. I had no need to go and buy eggs because the chickens were kind enough to provide them for me.

I am quite sensitive to the cold so my only complaint was that the place could get a bit cold as it is in the basement. Heaters were provided and they worked quite well. But keep in mind, I was here during February, so as soon as the weather warmed up, the cold was no longer a problem. On a happier basement dweller note, the place has windows that let a decent amount of light in, especially when the sun is shining.

Lastly, Naomi was a great host, anytime I needed anything, she would help me out. You'll find that she'll make you feel right at home.
