This is a spacious, cosy, well-equipped apartment in the beautiful and lively Alphabet neighborhood. I loved how comfortable the bed was with its pillow topper, adaptable feather pillows, and silky sheets. I was able to adjust the heating to suit my needs, even as a Californian unused to Portland temperatures. I really enjoyed the ´Artful’ vibe of the apartment, filled with original art from a variety of artists and art books to read. Location is near 23rd and 21st Avenues, which are fun to walk on, with many restaurants and shops. Trader Joe’s was my go-to market. ( I cooked most of my meals in the full kitchen) I indulged at Ken’s artisanal bakery and Salt and Straw ice cream, which I recommend. Fred was very responsive to my questions and texts and sent me check-in information just when it was needed! He also wrote when I was settled to make sure I was satisfied and doing well. I might very well stay here again!
