This place is in a great location. You can walk to the neighborhoods of Belmont and Hawthorne where there are a lot of great shops, restaurants, and bars. The neighborhood is quiet. I am noise sensitive and I never heard anything that disturbed my sleep. It was key for me that this was a detached separate bungalow where I didn't have to hear people walking above me. It is hard to find that in Portland as a lot of AirBnBs are the lower level of peoples' homes. So I really appreciated that. Tara's place is quaint. It's got cool vintage furniture, a record player, and a bathroom with heated floor. It's not a great "work from home" space if you're looking for that as there is no designated work/desk space. We were out exploring Portland all day so it was great to come home and lay your head. The bed was super comfortable and that's the most important to me after keeping noise low. She has comfortable sheets, duvets/blankets, and pillows that keep your neck in place as I struggle with neck pain from time to time. I think this place is good for a single traveler or couple, but would not be big enough for a family if you are considering. Tara had an easy check-in / check-out process - no self-garbage removal or taking off sheets and she left the key inside for us with the door unlocked when we arrived at 11PM.
