I stayed at the Laurelhurst Loft with a friend for 3 nights while visiting for a conference. We loved the cozy space! It is just as it appears in the photos - clean, lots of natural light, nicely furnished. The adjustable sofa/bed was easy to convert and very comfortable. The linens were great quality - felt like a hotel! Every detail was thought of -- shampoo/conditioner, a really good fan, extra blankets, and a nice selection of local guidebooks. The TV with netflix was nice as well.

Communication with Michele was easy and we had no problems with checking in or out. She was always available to us. Although we did not need any assistance during our stay, it was nice to know. I did meet her briefly as I was checking out (she lives closeby).

The kitchen sink doubles as a the bathroom sink, which I didn't mind. The only thing that surprised me was that the bathroom only has a curtain rather than a proper door that closes (you can see in the photos, but somehow I didn't realize). It wasn't an issue for us, but may be for those who value bathroom privacy.

Finally, the location of this loft is really nice if you plan on exploring the shops and restaurants in the SE area. It's quiet and residential, yet within walking distance to a lot of great spots. My favourites were:
- Bamboo Sushi (sustainable sushi)
- Canteen (nice juices/smoothies and healthy bowls)
- Yoga Space
- Cheese & Crack (wine and cheese bar)
- Crema Coffee

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for a relaxing stay in Portland!
