Katherine and Robert were extremely accommodating. The apartment is old but very clean with good amenities. It was easy to get public transportation or walk to wherever we wanted to go. Be warned that the steps up to the apartment are a bit treacherous. The only qualm is that the neighborhood seemed a bit rough, and there were a number of folks living on the street in the blocks around the house including urinating in public and acting intoxicated. However someone has told me that that is pretty typical in Portland generally so that may not be unique to this apartment…! But if you want a good space from which to explore the city the apartment really couldn’t be better, especially for the price.
