As others have mentioned, location is king for this exceptionally clean apartment. Our main complaint is that there is no alternative to using Keurig coffee pods. The host is highly communicative about guests telling him what they need, but when we requested a French press or coffee maker, we did not get it. It's also important to note that the "sofa bed" is a single, cot-sized bed, and if you use more than one towel you need to bring it. There is a small window AC unit in the bedroom; however, it does not adequately cool the living room/kitchen on warm days. There is a fan, but it doesn't produce a strong flow of air.
For those who hope to cook, there are minimal kitchen tools. For example, this apartment lacks a blender or lettuce spinner. It does have adequate pots and pans and dishes, but no teaspoons... only soup spoons. The knives aren't bad for an airbnb.
There is an incredibly strict smoking and noise policy with the threat of paying a "fine" if you're reported. I understand the necessity of not annoying the neighbors, but the irony is that we smelled cigarette smoke wafting in through our entire 2 night stay where we had to shut the windows to avoid it. The balcony is quite sweet but during our stay, we often had to leave it due to cigarette smoke.
All in all, you simply can't beat this Portland location. Everything is accessible by foot or public transport. By the time you pay all the taxes and fees though, the price for this apartment is too high in light of its limitations.
