The apartment was perfect for my stay. I was attending a conference at the Oregon Convention Center and was worried this would be too far away and in a less desirable location compared to my friends staying downtown. On the contrary -- it was super convenient to get to the conference either walking (about 25 minutes) or taking one of several possible bus routes (12, 19, 20). And the neighborhood was great -- tons of restaurants and shops along 28th and Burnside (including a little Whole Foods for self-catering).

I was happy to find a coffee maker and plenty of ground coffee - and even milk - when I arrived. While the listing advertises cable tv, I only managed to get network tv (which was kind of a bummer because it was hockey playoff time). I never met Margot but I didn't really need anything from her either.

Overall, great little respite in Portland.
