Gene is great & was extremely helpful through the entire stay. The Harrison has a thorough check-in, but should only take like 15 mins. Centrally located, with the streetcar right out front. I know it's technically South of downtown, but the waterfront is 5 a min walk and the Pearl District, supposedly on the "North side" of downtown, is like a 20-25 min walk. The city is tiny!!! This place has everything you'd need. I would stay here again.
Favorite thing was the location, access, and how the apartment looks over a tree lined path. I imagine that's how it feels waking up in a treehouse. I know what you're thinking, I was there April-July and no bugs. Thanks Gene!
