This lower level apartment was really a pleasant place to stay. Very new and tastefully decorated. Entry is directly from a backyard patio space reminiscent of a corner of the Japanese Garden just a few blocks a way--and very private. The kitchen is fully supplied and the living area substantial in size. We enjoyed easy access to Washington park and all of its walking trails, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden etc. It is also very accessible to downtown Portland which is only a few minutes a way by car. We would definitely consider this option again for future visits.
