This place is somewhat far from it all and the neighborhood isn't particularly interesting or nice - i.e. we were not inspired to take a morning walk or explore. The house had a decent kitchen and downstairs but the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are in serious need for a refresh. The amenities were lacking, such as no cable TV (and no TV in the bedrooms) or A/C. It lacked thoughtfulness in terms of travelers' needs, such as tables next to the bed and reading lamps, plus no little touches such as tissues in the bathroom, etc. The towels were stiff as well. The communication from the host was a little uninviting - check in rightat 4pm and we had to be out by 11am the next morning as other people were coming. We found the cost of this place to be very high for what we got (or didn't get) and the area not great. Next time we will experience Portland in the funkier, more lively neighborhoods for the same or better price.
