I stayed at Bob and Karen's place for almost 3 months.
Karen welcomed me on my arrival and check-in. She was very warm and made me feel welcomed. She made sure I had all the information needed and left instructions on important things. They were both very prompt and responsive all throughout my stay. They were excellent communicators and were quick to inform me whenever there were important issues that needed my attention in the property complex.
Their place had a great location, right next to the Willamette River. I enjoyed the countless of times watching the ducks swimming in the river and seeing some passing birds chirping on the trees or on the balcony. There is also a walking/trail path along the river bank that had an easy access from the property complex. I enjoyed those occasional walks especially on a beautiful day, just watching the sunset and admiring the lovely scenery. The apartment was fully equipped with all the necessary items for a comfortable living. The kitchen was well stocked and provided everything that I needed for cooking. The bedroom was spacious enough and had a comfortable bed. The cabinet with drawers and closet provided space for all my personal belongings. The bathroom was a perfect size for 1 - 2 people, with a shower and bath. There is also a pull-out bed in the living room area that was very useful whenever I had my son over for a visit and stayed during school breaks. The living room had a cozy couch for watching TV, and just simply gazing at the view of the river outside. The dining table/area was my favorite spot every morning for breakfast. The laptop counter was a very useful space for my computer and writing.
I appreciate the convenience of the property's proximity to great restaurants, shopping, supermarkets, Lloyds Center Mall, and just for sightseeing. The Portland weekend market is just a 10-minute walk for me. I had a rental car all throughout my stay, and had a parking space alloted. I felt secure during my stay at their property.
