My husband and I chose this apartment for a week as a base from which to explore north and south of the Columbia River. It was our first time in the area and met our expectations well. The place was spotless, comfortable and bright with a wonderful vista over the river. The bed was firm and comfortable. We made good use of the balcony, using the BBQ frequently. The kitchen was small, but sufficiently equipped for a short stay and had a good selection of sharp knives, although it would have been good to have had a salad bowl and serving spoons, a tray and a brush for cleaning the BBQ. There was enough storage for our clothes and for storing luggage. We enjoyed sitting in our outside area downstairs. The internet was good, the smart TV useful and there was parking on the drive.
Our host was available during our stay to answer questions and was responsive when we had an internet problem. Safeway is 5 minute drive away.
There are so many places to recommend visiting. Certainly a visit to Portland is a must; we took the park and ride from Fisher, which was easy and a $5 allows you access to all transport-we did achieve the 4T loop-train, tram, trolley and trail-great idea. We enjoyed the Magic Mile chairlift from Timberline Lodge up Mount Hood, Trillium Lake, Bonneville Dam, Route 30 with Hood River Multnomah waterfalls and Vista House at Crown Point.
Great area too for hiking, although several trails were closed due to earlier fires, there is enough elsewhere.
