This little apartment attached to an artists studio is a perfect hideaway for one or two. You are minutes away from beautiful parks, hiking,restaurants, shopping, coffee, Pubs and more. Downtown Portland is also very close by car. I really dispute the other commenter that stated it was 20 mionuites. I drove it every day for a week and timed it. Unless you are going at rush hour, its barely 10 minutes by car. (Heres a tip, when you drive downtown don't take the freeway!) The apartment is very comfortable with 2 overstuffed reclining chairs in the living room and HBO movies channels on the TV. The galley kitchen is nicely stocked so you have everything you need to make your meals on premises. There is lots of closet space in the bedroom with tons of hangers provided (I love it!!) and plush bathrobes for relaxing in. There is also a desk for those that need to work or want to write letters. On top of all of this, Carol and Arnie, your hosts, and the two nicest people you will meet during your stay in Portland. They provided great suggestions on places to visit in the area both near and far. So yes, I would recommend this VRBO location to my friends and family, and others, that find they need a place to stay in the Portland area.
