Angela's place was awesome! We were nervous about it being off Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive (REALLY nervous) but MLK Drive in Portland is a fantastically safe area. In terms of getting places, the location could not have been any better. There are a couple coffee shops in walking distance around the corner. It's about 1.5 miles from Williams St. which has bars, restaurants, etc. There's a great improv comedy venue a mile away. Mississippi Ave. is a must and is about a 5 min. drive. The Pearl/Downtown is maybe a 10 min. drive. We didn't pay any more than $13 for an Uber or Lyft ride anywhere, even during rush hours, but most rides were around $7.

The apartment was excellent. Super clean, more than enough space for me and my wife, big bathroom, private entry, laundry, full kitchen, etc. The only thing to note with this listing is that footfalls from above are very audible and there is a young child who likes to move quickly; however, we were never once woken up by the sounds from upstairs (we were awake by about 9:15am everyday, if not a bit earlier) and Angela and her family are not loud hosts. Things were usually pretty quiet by about 8pm, maybe earlier. We didn't hear any voices or yelling or crying or anything either, just walking. But it is worth noting if you like to sleep way late or just have a problem in general with hearing footsteps from upstairs neighbors :)

This is a great place, for a great price, that is very centrally located. Would definitely stay again and would recommend it to anyone coming to Portland!
