Well located just a block or so off Alberta in Portland's NE in a quiet neigborhood, you'll find this pristine apartment. It feels as though a full remodel was completed just months ago, and it was -- just last October, 2018. We've seen a lot of AirB&B places around the world, and this one rates near the very top. Don't be concerned that it is in a walk-out lower level under the owner's home; it feels much more as though you're right on gound level, brightly lit through four large windows and a clever, etched-glass entrance door.
It's spacious for one couple, with a well equipped high-end kitchen and a bathroom that you might expect in a very good hotel. The "vibe" is modern throughout, but with warm touches everywhere. We especially liked the natural-form wood shelving.
Kelly is the perfect host: instantly available when needed, but otherwise invisible for the sake of her guests' privacy. She is also a first-class gardener, having converted the entire front area into lovely flower and vegetable plots.
How much did we enjoy our week at Kelly's apartment? When we return to Portland, we'll be checking with her first before making our vacation travel plans. We'll go only when this apartment is available.
