Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this clean property at a convenient location. We stayed here for 5 nights in September 2021 while bringing our daughter to school at PSU. It was a nice location from which to explore the city and surrounding area; we did day trips to Cannon Beach, Columbia River Gorge, and Mt. Hood area. We rented a car and parking was a little bit of a pain but we knew that coming in. We felt safe and were able to walk and scooter to many places in the city. So many delicious restaurants!!!! Jordan was very good at quickly responding to my messages.
However, I think renters should be aware of 3 main things. 1.) I really think there should be fans or white noise machines in the bedrooms to help block out the noise from upstairs. A few nights, the people above us would be walking around in the middle of the night. The ceiling and walls seem to be very thin. We messaged Jordan to let him know and I believe he did what he could but the noise continued throughout our stay. This made for a hard night’s sleep. 2.) There were no extra towels, blankets, or pillows in the rental property. We were short one towel and waited 2 days for a clean towel so we had to share. 3.) One evening, a homeless person was sleeping right outside the front window. We have been to Portland before and understand that there are people without homes who live amongst the city and I can’t claim to understand their struggles. This individual yelled directly at me through the window as I was washing dishes. I think front blinds or curtains need to be added to the front windows and advise renters to keep the outside light on at night.
Overall, we enjoyed staying at this place and Portland is an amazing city.
