You can’t beat the location of Gabe’s place. It’s directly off an incredibly cute, hip street in Nob Hill full of restaurants, cafes, and shopping. It was a longer but still very reasonable walk to the Japanese gardens, and, in the other direction, to Powell’s bookstore, Voodoo Doughnuts, and all kinds of other great Portland stops!
The apartment is in an older building so there was some wear and tear on the carpets, blinds, etc. Sound also carried, since the space is huge (which was really nice!) and there isn’t a ton of furniture in it. That said, Gabe was extremely responsive to questions, we all agreed the beds were among the most comfortable any of us had ever slept in (seriously, it was like sleeping on a cloud), and the location and the convenience factor were absolutely amazing! Free off-street parking, the washer/dryer, and the lockbox for easy check-in were all awesome. I was traveling with several people and not only did we each have our own bedroom, but the rooms were so separate that we essentially each had our own wing of the apartment. We had a fantastic time staying at Gabe’s place!
