I've stayed at Eddie and Anna's place prob 6 times -it's around the corner from my daughter's house, but more than location it will always be my go-to place in Portland. We call it the "Ice Cave" due to it being a basement apartment with AC - crucial on those sweltering hot summer days that Portlandia is in denial about! At about 600 squ ft, it is a sizable 1-bd apartment, with lots of room to stretch out on the couch in front of the big-screen TV enjoying cocktails (lots of ice in the full-size frig). There is NO stove, but micro and toaster oven (and take-out) solves most food issues. As for noise, it IS a basement apt so footfalls and squeaks are occasionally heard, but never voices.
