We stayed at Alex's house for two weeks during a beautiful, rainy Portland July. The apartment is very spacious, extremely clean and well stocked. He left us a GIANT container of coffee in the fridge, soaps, shampoo, paper towels, etc. Enough to get started with our vacation. There are plenty of towels and blankets. The location is very close-in and full of beautiful big old Portland family homes. There's a washer/dryer which was great for our family. Great outdoor space with comfy wooden chairs and lots of plants-- nice place for a glass of something in the evening. The only tiny negative is that because the house is old, the noise insulation isn't so great between the upstairs apartment and the downstairs. That was really only an issue for us a couple of times -- hearing stomping around at 4.30am as some other renters were trying to get to the airport, and tv downstairs another night. But it also made us concerned about our noise as well. Our 7 year old liked to run down the long hallway and I'm sure that wasn't pleasant for Alex to hear... So that is just something to consider if you have kids or if you are super, super sensitive to noise. I would absolutely recommend this apartment and hope to stay again on another trip to Portland.
