My wife, two friends, and myself used this property as a home base while we were in town to catch a Heilung concert during their first (hopefully of many) US tours.
Our hosts were amazing! Communications prior and during the stay were clear and prompt. All expectations were made clear, no surprises. They were even super accommodating of a special request I had a few days prior to arriving.
The location was way better than we could’ve imagined. I’m not as familiar with Portland and its neighborhoods as I’d like to be, and this place turned out to be in really close walking distance to a lot of great shops, coffee and tea houses, and restaurants. Not quite walking distance to the Roseland Theater, but near enough to everything that an Uber/Lyft ride was quick, easy, and pretty cheap. Only a short car ride from Union Station where we trained in. We expected to have to hop in a car to go and do anything, and the location ensured that was not the case. We had more than enough to occupy us within walking distance.
As our hosts are very clear and upfront about in their listing, and as others state in their reviews, there is a lot of noticeable noise from the hosts’ house above the rental unit. You’ll hear every footstep, and the burble of conversations. They are very respectful during the quiet hours, but early risers with children, and you’re going to hear all of that. You need to decide if you can be ok with that going in. I fault the hosts not at all for this, since as I said it’s all upfront going in. It’s a choice you have to make as a guest. So would I use this property for a quiet or romantic getaway? Absolutely not. But if you need an EXCELLENT value for a place to call home base while you explore the city or attend an event, you won’t find a better value in accommodations. And you’ll be in excellent hands with your hosts!
We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again if we have something going on in Portland.
