My fiancé and I loved our long weekend at Artful Life II! The location is very hard to beat. There are so many cool spots literally steps away from the flat. The bed in the flat was very comfortable and we loved the artsy flair of the decor. Fred was also extremely quick to respond to a question we had. He's a great host!
My only criticism would be the cat smell in the building. My fiancé is allergic to cats, so the scent did affect him. I would say this would only be a big concern if you have a cat allergy.
Overall, we had an awesome time and I will recommend this location to my friends wanting to experience life as a local in Portland!
