Lots of good here: Levi never left any doubt that he was available for communication or anything we needed. Lots of thought went into the very well designed basement apartment. The location is PERFECT for walking to Hawthorne District (we also walked to downtown but that was three miles.. but very walkable if you are into that sort of thing!) Street parking was limited when we arrived but we were able to find a spot around the corner. As best I could tell the area seemed safe.
Negatives: not just a little noise from above, but at times there would be a loud bang.. I heard it as late as 10:30pm (woke us up) and then we heard it starting again between 6-7am. The bed caved into the middle a bit so we kept kinda rolling toward each other (we are both small people at about 140# so I imagine this would be more significant for bigger people). A slight musty smell, being a basement, but overall not too bad. Also.. coffee is provided but no creamer or sugar so in case that is your thing, I’d bring some.
Overall we had a good stay and I wouldn’t consider this a place to avoid; it seemed extremely pricey for what you get but Portland airbnbs are pricey overall in my experience.
