the apartment was a good solution for a month in Portland. the neighborhood had a lot to offer by way of restaurants and bars and definitely made it easy to get out of the apartment a bit. oh and the mattress is SUPER comfortable!
word of caution that this is a basement apartment so some noise from the unit above does carry, and there is not much natural light (a premium in PDX) which made for some dark rainy days — but I suppose that is the true portland experience!
