Lucy's was fantastic. Her communication was quick, and she was very helpful. We had questions, and Lucy was quick to answer. She greeted us shortly after we arrived and greeted our guest when she arrived at a different time. She sent updates on a repair she had to make on the unit and worked with us on our strange schedule.
Lucy's unit was fantastic. It was as advertised, like new. You can tell that she takes excellent care of it. It was such a fun combination of high tech and warm cozyness. the first floor had a beautiful kitchen, well stocked with pot and pans, utensils and dishes and cups. Don't be put off by the concrete floor as it is polished, dyed and heated! One of our mornings was cool, and the floor was warm. The upstairs has two bedrooms, both light and airy with plenty of room for my spouse and a guest. The bathroom was clean neat and new as the rest of the space. We used the south side covered patio several times to chill out and just a few minutes of downtime between trips.
We were unfamiliar with the area from previous trips to Portland, so we were not sure what to expect in the amenities such as restaurants, breweries, grocery stores, etc. within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised with a well well stocked Whole Food/local coop style grocery within five blocks for supplies, not one but two breweries within four block, an excellent bakery, an ice cream shop that blew our mind and two bus lines within three blocks. (we bought a multi-day transit pass and to the buses, street cars, and Max Lines everywhere) There was much more we did not have to try in this area.
I would HIGHLY recommend Lucy's rental.
