Tony and Alix's place was a great place to stay in general, and amazing for our purposes. I came to Portland for a conference, and the location was both residential enough to be quiet at night, and close enough to the conference center and local transit that we didn't have a problem getting around.
The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and spacious. They set up an entertainment center, with Netflix, and there's a coffeemaker with good coffee available. The shower was nice, too. Another reviewer mentioned that it was cold. It IS a basement apartment, but there are heaters on the walls and Alix brought us extra blankets. I found the space incredibly comfortable, and we're from Houston (sweaty and hot). The beds are firm, but the pull out couch was so comfortable that my friend didn't want to switch to the bed. It worked out very well.
Plus, there's so much room in the kitchen that you could cook, if you were inclined, and we were able to get after hours work done at the table (or just hang out with laptops if you weren't there for work).
We both enjoyed our stay and would book here again when we're back in town.
