Close to downtown & within walking distance of the Pearl, Alphabet (Nob Hill) district & downtown (note: It's actually located in Slabtown, not in the Pearl as listed.). It's next to a highway so light sleepers be warned - I was ok with it. Secured building. Close to groceries, cool restaurants & bars. Parking in downtown Portland is difficult so it's best suited for those without a car. Streetcars and buses are close by and everything is within walking distance.
Check-in was difficult. They switched my room at the last minute & didn't tell me so I had the wrong code for the keys. I didn't like that you had to check-in using their app & give so much personal information (ID/facial recognition) & pay a refundable $300 deposit (in addition to the fees listed on AirBnB). Lots of extra fees. Late check-in time & no way to store bags unless you payed a huge fee. The place itself wasn't bad but not sure I will stay there again.
