My girlfriend and I wanted to find local places to get a true feel for Portland. We came across Rachel's listing with excitement and was incredibly delighted with its outcome. The apartment sits on a great stretch of restaurants and shops on Mississippi. Exactly where you want to find yourself for a lively time and open interaction with others. We had coffee at the shop right below us every morning and it's really close to the train to get around. The coffee shop does play music that you can somewhat hear in the mornings but not enough to be unpleasant. The apt is a great size - amazing kitchen area and entrance from the street makes easy come and go. The pictures do it justice. Clean, and great view of the street below. We absolutely loved it and will probably hit Rachel up to stay again. Thank you!
