I stayed in the apartment for more than 2 weeks and really appreciated having it as my base while I was in Portland. The apartment is new and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the washer/dryer (and detergent!) in the apartment. The winter in Portland has been very wet, so there was an overabundance of moisture ants in the apartment. Kathleen was very responsive to my concerns and got pest control over right away. The immediate neighborhood was a bit more run down than I expected. In particular, the roads are dirt/gravel with loads of potholes that turn to rivers and mud during the rain, which made getting around on foot or by car a little dicey. But, the apartment itself is terrific and SE is a very accessible part of Portland, with great restaurants and lovely neighborhoods for walking.
