It's a nice little loft. Definitely a good and walkable downtown location. If you come to Portland without a car, you will get along fine, but if you bring your car, know that you will have to find your own parking. There's a lot across the street that is easy to use for overnight parking. Also, it probably won't make a difference if you aren't coming to town during an August heat wave, but the air conditioning unit could get the loft close to comfortable, but still on the warm side for my husband. And the washer is great, but without a dryer, laundry was hard.
