This apartment was in a perfect location and price range for us, just a few blocks down the street from where our conference was. Despite being a basement apartment, this is a very light, bright, immaculate, well-appointed place with windows and a great kitchen and shower. There were 3 of us, so I took the long, wide couch to sleep on by the kitchen and found it surprisingly comfortable. In better weather we probably would have walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner, but Portland had a huge snowfall the night we stayed there. After digging out the car in the morning, we were glad to only have to drive about 10 blocks to our conference on the same street. Very convenient location near city bustle but just into a neighborhood that is quiet and delightful--best of both worlds! Great place, Omar and Amanda :)
