We stayed at Max’s place for a weekend in August 2020 and loved it overall!
The bed was a bit too soft for our liking and we kinda sunk into it, but still fell asleep fine from our long busy days. The couch also was a little uncomfortable to sit on, but we didn’t sleep on it so it wasn’t a problem.
Anyways, on to the great part of this place! We felt like we were in a safe location and many places we wanted to visit were a short driving distance. There is a driveway which we used, but there was noticeably many free street parking spots on the streets.
The unit is located on the second floor and the driveway is by the living room window, so you can see / hear your vehicle! To enter this unit, enter the front door which has a code, go upstairs to this unit which requires another code to retrieve the keys. I liked the extra locked door in the beginning for added security given that the other renters lock it as well! We did notice that it wasn’t locked a few times when returning.
The unit is exactly as described, plus more! It was spacious and clean. The washer/dryer worked fine and included detergent and fabric softener! There were also extra sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, floor mats, shampoo, soap, bug spray, WD40, febreeze, lots of extra toilet paper, extra paper towels and everything you could possibly need in a kitchen including wine bottle opener, sponge, hand soap, and dish soap! We only used the microwave and toaster, so we can report that those operated well. It was nice and cool during our stay so we didn’t need the air conditioning unit, fans, or heater (I think it was a heater!).
I liked how we can open the blinds in the living room area to provide nice, natural light into the place while also having privacy because the building right next door doesn’t have windows facing us! All the windows opened to allow fresh air in.
We would definitely stay here again the next time we stay in Portland!
