This beautiful apartment exceeded all expectations and Merry is a wonderful host. I highly recommend this listing for your stay in Portland for 3 reasons: Merry’s awesome communication, the ample amount of amenities, and distance for sightseeing. Merry replies to my messages within minutes and was extremely helpful with my questions. Her apartment provided coffee/tea, a cute little kitchen (with stove, refrigerator, freezer, shower/bath, AND a washer and dryer). Everything about the apartment was clean and the backyard is adorable. The neighborhood is quiet and stunning! Very hilly! But that made fun for walks at all times of the day. Council Crest park is about a 25 minute walk (again very hilly) and it was our favorite place to watch the sunset. All of our must-see places were within 30 minutes from here. You can expect a bit of traffic before getting to the city or out of it (for our trip: Mount Hood/Multnomah Falls, Eugene, or Cannon Beach), but this allows your commute to the following in under 20 minutes: OMSI, Washington Park (Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo), pretty much every mall, and many more. I could go on and on about how great our trip was, all thanks to having a wonderful place to come “home” to. Thank you Merry!
