We absolutely loved the neighbourhood, you're walking distance to so many great restaurants and just a 5 minute car ride to downtown Portland. The carriage house is adorable, spacious and newer. We liked the layout and overall vibe. Parking was free and really easy to find, most days we got a spot immediately in front of the AirBnb.
The bed frame is a little squeaky, so if you toss and turn a lot at night, maybe bring ear plugs. The house faces the main family home, so we kept the drapes closed on that side mostly. It's not exactly private, but it didn't bother us at all. The garden is so beautiful and we loved the chickens.
Bring a face mask for sure because it's really bright. We figured out how to close the skylight drapes on our second day there, but it's still pretty light in the morning, which we really liked actually, just a heads up for anyone who's sensitive to light.
We found the digital door lock really annoying and would have just preferred an old-fashioned metal key, but it worked fine.
There's no coffee! That was a major surprise to us as there's tons of tea, but we headed up to Whole Foods, just a couple blocks away and bought coffee beans. There are 2 grinders and a French press, so that was greatly appreciated, but that first morning was kind of rough. We are caffeine addicts.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, hopefully the above comes across as helpful recommendations, not complaints. We would 100% stay here again.
