This is one of the best accommodations we have used in almost four years of travel around the world. After so much travel we are very demanding renters and we were attracted by the great reviews but the Apartment exceeded our expectations.We stayed for a week.
Nicely and comfortably furnished (comfy bed) , the space is quite generous for a studio.
There are lots of thoughtful touches to add to your comfort and Cara provides lots of info on Portland and Oregon and recommendations on restaurants and the like.
If you are self catering then there is every piece of equipment and basic ingredient you could possibly need - oil , condiments , a collection of herbs and spices and more.
The location is a little bit out of town and really too far to walk in hot weather.We didn’t have a car on this visit but there is a large Safeway Supermarket 10/15 minutes walk away and a bus stop into town a few minutes walk away with frequent buses.Its easy and cheap to get around Portland by public transport - a day pass is only $5 but if you don’t want to go too far there are plenty of bars cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk.
Cara and Roger are great hosts.Quick to respond to emails ,they were concerned for our comfort as we visited during a heatwave but we barely used the very efficient aircon unit as there are plenty of opening windows for natural ventilation and they were more than helpful when we needed to print some documents.
All of the above at a very reasonable rent , we would definitely return here if we visit Portland again.
Thank you Cara and Roger for your great hospitality.
Ann and Peter
