Cora wasn't in town when we first checked in, so there was a little confusion with the door-lock/ key. Luckily she is extremely attentive to phone and messages, so it was resolved instantly! The apartment is just as pictured, very comfortable and clean. We loved the private patio, too (and so did our doggie!) The apartment is above another unit, so you have to be mindful of the noise level for the tenant below but nothing out of the ordinary. The area is great, right in the heart of a hip SE Portland neighborhood. We had our car with us, so we drove into downtown (maybe 10 minutes). Overall, great experience. Wish we could have extended our stay!
