I had a great week-long stay at Carla's! The apartment was just what I needed to have a basecamp in Portland for a week of visiting and touring. It's incredibly close to Cathedral Park on foot, and a quick minute's drive to the St. John's Bridge by car. (And...there's a chocolate factory across the street!) It was comfortable and safe, lots of amenities like coffee maker, a kettle, a mini fridge, plates and dishes, a microwave, allowed me to start my mornings like I was at home. I also had no problems finding on-street parking on the block.

Carla was in touch while I was en route and during my stay. I generally keep to myself and don't need much, but I was happy that she checked in and knew she was there if I needed anything.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Carla as a host and would stay here again without hesitation!
