We were pleasantly surprised with the location of Dirk & Jackie's place. If you're able bodied & active, it's within walking distance to everything in the downtown core. If not, rail & bus station is very close, as is the train station (which we used for a day trip to Portland). The room itself was clean & attention was paid to detail - great instructions on how to use amenities within the space (wifi, TV etc.) & some great recommendations for things to see & do. The loft bedroom area was a bit difficult to access with a steep staircase, esp. as the days worse on after 8-10 hours of walking & sore feet & legs. It was also tricky to scale up/down in the middle of the night. While the bathroom was adequate, it was a bit difficult to fall back to sleep after climbing down steep stairs, walking out into the incredibly bright hallway, entering a bright bathroom with motion sensor lighting, then back out & up the steep stairs. I know there isn't really another solution, but I would say that if you're a light sleeper (the a/c is quite loud) or have issues getting back to sleep, this may not be the right space for you. Those issues aside, the bathroom had available toiletries, the shared kitchen area was a bonus & check-in & check-out was smooth. Got to meet Jackie on our day of arrival & see her again on the day we checked out, she was lovely & helpful!
