Summary: We had a lovely stay at this charming third-floor walk-up in Portland! The apartment was exactly as described — thoughtfully decorated, well-equipped, and very clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable visit, including a full kitchen, cozy living space, and reliable Wi-Fi.The location was ideal — just a short drive to downtown Portland and close to grocery stores, restaurants, and other essentials. Despite being near everything, the neighborhood felt peaceful and safe.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish — very responsive and helpful with tips about the area. Just note that it’s a third-floor walk-up, so pack accordingly if stairs are a concern, but we didn’t mind at all.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Portland!
