Barbara's bamboo apartment is ideal-very cozy. It's within walking distance to restaurants, bars, etc., yet, so quiet, which makes it an ideal Portland getaway. The Space itself looks exactly how it looks in the pictures--it was lovely! Instructions were thoroughly laid out for us and communication with Barbara was great. Also, the hot tub was an excellent little bonus. If ever in the Portland area again, I'd definitely love to stay at the bamboo apartment again!
