Great long-term stay location! We stayed for 2 months with our 18-month old and loved it. The space is a block away from two fabulous parks, with many more a short walk away. The hosts were kind, helpful & mostly stayed to themselves. We had some lovely conversations and interactions when both parties happened to be outside and we even got to your Tamara’s pottery studio while she worked!
Overall, we absolutely recommend it. There are a few things to keep if mind, especially if you stay with a child. The hosts have a beautiful, gentle but also massive dog (American Alsatian) and two cats who are often outside in the shared backyard. They were all three very calm, gentle, and friendly with our daughter. There is not a bathtub, so shower it is. Despite daily sweeping and cleaning, there was a bit of an ant infestation in the kitchen. There were many traps scattered throughout the apartment but didn’t seem to be effective. It didn’t bother us too badly but it should be noted — we have talked with Scott regarding it and he is aware.
A pack n’ play is provided and fits in the bedroom closet — it worked out great for our daughter. There are a few fun toys including train sets, puzzles, and books. There are lots of free little libraries throughout the neighborhood as well as the Kenton library only a 15 minute walk away. The parks are highly frequented with young children and parents, and make great social spots for young families.
We loved our stay in Portland and enjoyed the Airbnb, Scott & Tamara, and especially Bjørn the dog!
