The apartment was lovely, with everything we needed, from comfortable beds and a comfrortable temperature inside when it was very hot outside to refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave, and some welcoming chocolate and flowers from the garden. Anne was very helpful any time I needed local information. If you're interestedin hiking, this apartment is vey near Mt. Tabor Park. I'll stay in this cozy basement apartment again if I return to Portland and will recommend it to others.
