Erica's place in Portland was just as pictured. It is a very well kept modern basement studio. Even though it is in the basement, there is a great amount of light that comes through the window. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed for a 2 night stay.
Location is good in a fairly quiet neighborhood. We had no issues taking public transportation around as well as finding Lyfts nearby. There are plenty of places near by but we did find ourselves travelling out of the neighborhood everyday.
The only note I will make is that this apartment is quite small. Perfect for 2 people who are going to be out and about for most of the day and need a place to come back to at night. There's no couch or TV or anything like that. This was great for us though!
Thanks so much for helping make our Portland trip great!
