We loved our stay at Dana & Misha’s suite. It is a beautiful space (bigger and better than the pictures) and in a great part of Portland. Dana & Misha – were wonderful hosts.

The space - is beautifully appointed and decorated basement apartment with lots of natural light. It has a very relaxing vibe and you do feel like you are in a suite in many ways – it was much bigger than I anticipated.

You have a separate entrance at the side of the main house. Yes, you are in the basement of a (beautiful) main home but it doesn’t’ feel like that. Yes, you will hear Dana & Misha walking upstairs. It can take awhile to get used to hearing them walking and muffled voices and realizing you are in the basement. They are extremely considerate in the mornings and even provided a white noise machine. We regularly sleep with ear plugs and white noise machine – so had no issues with the noise while sleeping or in the morning.

There is not a full kitchen – but the space is equipped with a refrigerator (with an honor system for drinks etc), a microwave, coffee maker, kettle, plates, bowls, mugs, glasses etc. The welcome instructions were useful and welcome block of chocolate didn’t last long! The bathroom is beautiful with a great shower. It was amazing to have access to a very good washer and dryer! One of the reasons we chose this place was because it had a sofa and TV. We were using our time in Portland to relax, so we were very happy to have a sofa and TV to chill out at night and watch TV. The wifi was also very good.

The location – Parking is easily available on the street out front. You are walking distance between Division and Hawthorne Streets. Both which provide ample restaurant, bars and coffee stores. Stumptown is maybe a 5 minute walk on Division Street – try Good Coffee a few doors down, it was our favorite. There are so many great food trucks on Division and an amazing ice cream store called Salt & Straw also on Division which was pheonomenal. We spent a day or two eating our way up and down Division streets and it was all very, very good!

We really enjoyed Portland and it was only made better by our stay here. I would definitely stay here again if in Portland.
