I absolutely adore The Winston. It's such a charming little place, smack in the middle of downtown. For Goose Hollow, the rent is quite reasonable, the apartments are refurbished, and completely adorable. The maintenance folks are very responsive and the building manager, as of the time of this writing, is absolutely aces. About the only nit I can pick is that because the building was built in 1924, it behaves like a nearly century-old edifice, and every once in a while, the building will show one of her quirks. Otherwise, living in The Winston is a wonderful experience I would highly recommend to anyone.

I have lived in many apartments in Portland over the last 13 years and would say that the Imperial Arms was by far the best experience. A lovely, well cared for building, with all the charms of old portland: clawfoot tub, french doors, mini balcony and lots of light from large windows. Management was always quick to respond and I never lacked for much of anything. Being it a downtown apartment, you have shared mail area, laundry and garbage, but that is expected. Parking is difficult, but again it is downtown - you can walk everywhere. Only heard my above neighbors once in a while and never my side neighbors. After a couple years here, I would say it is the best old Portland charm building you can find that is still nicely kept and affordable.
