I was pleased to find this space available for my quick trip to PDX. I chose this place based on it's NE location, and the description that this is a renovated detached garage. I figured it was at the back of a main house. (I find that when hosts live onsite the rentals are maintained the best). Also, as a solo female traveler I feel safer staying a little ways back from the street.
This unit is freestanding and street-side, surrounded on 3 sides by a solid wood fence. The place has many ground-floor windows with bottom-up blinds over them. When you raise the blinds you are looking at the fence.
The mattress and pillows were comfortable and the place was tidy.
The place had an electrical issue while I was there. Nick was responsive, although not close-by enough to come resolve the issue, so we worked together to provide a temporary fix, which took out the WiFi and the front porch light.
Last thing- the place is over-febreezed. If you are sensitive to synthetic air fresheners, this place is not for you.
