Carol's Garden Apartment was just lovely. This area of Portland is beautiful and definitely has a great neighborhood feel, yet it's also very close to downtown, the Pearl District, and there are some lovely coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance too.
The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and easy to find. There are lots of amenities. I was a bit chilly the first night but Carol had stocked the apartment with extra blankets and even a space heater so it was easy to warm up.
Parking right in front made traveling with my two dogs (whom Carol was happy to accommodate!), a breeze.
It was just me, and I would definitely stay there again. It's great for a couple or a single person, there is a couch if you're traveling with a child.
