The apartment is very large and great for a larger group. The location is perfect and close to all the great restaurants and shops in the NW. If you are a “walker”, you do not need a car in town. If you do have a car, there is a parking spot available for renters. Easy walk to the one side of the town and back. Portland is a small city and easy to maneuver and the apartment is located perfectly. Out of the city atmosphere of downtown and in a great, fun neighborhood right on the other side of I-5. A couple points to note, if you have a toddler and are staying on the 2nd floor, the apartment has large exposed stairs which is an enticing hazard to a toddler. The AC doesn't extend to the bedrooms, but we easily remedied that by purchasing inexpensive fans. All in all, a great place to explore Portland.
