If you're coming to Portland this is a great place to stay! My original reservation was for three weeks but I needed to extend my stay in Portland am very happy that this apartment was still available. It is as the pictures show - a beautiful, bright, clean and comfortable apartment. It was bigger than I anticipated and I never felt the need to put the bed up, there was plenty of space. The bathroom is roomy and the shower is great. Steve is gracious host, very responsive and helpful. His family was very accommodating, allowing me to use the laundry facilities which is a great benefit when you are here for an extended stay. The neighborhood is my favorite in Portland and the proximity of the apartment to all of the restaurants, coffee houses, food trucks and shops on Hawthorne and Division is perfect. If you don't have a car the public transportation options are good and the neighborhood is very pleasant to walk in and very bicycle friendly. As other reviews have mentioned you can hear the family occasionally in the morning and at dinner time but I didn't find it to be a problem at all.
