We enjoyed our stay at John's place very much! The apartment is exactly as described and impeccably clean, bed was comfy and it had all the comforts of home. The air conditioner helped cool things down during the heat wave the first couple days of our stay. The location is perfect for exploring Portland, it took us only minutes to get to downtown, we really didn't even notice that much traffic even during rush hour, we are used to Southern California traffic! Check in was easy breezy, plenty of street parking and the nearby restaurants/shops were fun to explore. We had no problem with noise from the street or the adjoining home. John was very accommodating and we really appreciated how quickly he responded when we had a question. I highly recommend John's place for your Portland adventure!
