My husband and I stayed here for a week. It was our first trip to Portland, and Chantel was so helpful with links of things to go and do and places to eat. The apartment was so central to all the things we wanted to see, it was a great base. Most everything we went to do was only 10 or 15 minutes away. But overall the patio was my most favorite feature. In the quiet moments of the morning, and the downtime between activities, I found myself enjoying the peace of the patio.
