We stayed at Mindy's for 5 nights. 4 of us (2 small kids). It was about 20 minutes Uber ride away from the airport. We had to travel to downtown Portland everyday. It was a 5 min walk to Bus #14 which took us straight downtown and back. There are also eateries (Taber Bread, Deli on Hawthorne) and a 7/11 convenience store about 5-10 min walk away. It was quite pleasant to walk down this street/neighbourhood which looks quite safe and nice. If it does drizzle, the walk can be a bit of a problem, but it didnt bother us too much.
Mindy's place was quite nice. Its a basement with about 7-8 steps going down. The separate side entrance gives privacy. The washer and dryer was one of the main reasons I picked the place.
Pros:
1. Safe neighbourhood, short walk to eateries/bus.
2. Clean and sufficient space in unit. All equipment worked fine.
3. Big TV with Netflix available, surprisingly! Huge plus.
4. Comfy bed and pull out sofa-bed was more than enough for the 4 of us (even enough for 4 adults).
5. Cooking items + tea bags + sufficient toilet paper (given the current situation!), detergent, etc.
Cons:
1. The walk back home from bus can be tiring if spending too many days, even though its only 5 mins.
2. The noise from the residents walking upstairs can be quite loud. It can be quite irritating to some.
3. Since its a basement, the heating unit is also inside, although enclosed in a separate space. Didnt really bother us much though.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. Will definitely stay again. Thanks Mindy!
