Erica's bungalow is a 2-story building that is conveniently located near the Alberta Art District. I'll write about the area and about the house.
Some nice restaurants are literally two blocks away. Few more blocks south has even more restaurants. I'm just disappointed that I wasn't able to try every single of them. I stayed here for six weeks and I was not able to visit a restaurant more than once and I dined out a lot. There are so many good local restaurants and food carts, it would be a shame to eat at a national chain. If dining out is not an option, Safeway is less than a mile away. There is also a nice walking park two blocks away too. The neighborhood is very quiet throughout the day and night. Occasionally you can hear freight trains go by about a mile away but that's about the noisiest thing you can hear. Most of the streets have 20MPH speed limit signs and there are lots of bicyclists. Speeding in this neighborhood is a rarity. I visited here during the month of August and September when the weather was still warm and dry. As with the rest of the Portland area, trees and greenery makes traveling in the area a pleasure.
As for the house it self, I would say this house has a character. It's an old bungalow that got partial renovation. The kitchen has newer appliances. Cabinets are stocked with ample dishes, cups, bowls and silverware. Besides the major appliances, there is a drip coffee maker, toaster, water kettle, countertop microwave, and a rice cooker. Erica stocked the kitchen with cutlery set and utensils so you don't have to bring a whole kitchen with you. A large master bedroom is located upstairs with a bathroom and a shower. A smaller second bedroom is on the main floor with a full bathroom next to it. WIFI connection was reliable and fast. I found a small bonus room to be useful. It connects to the back yard. It could be use for enjoying tea while watch TV. A nice cozy backyard has a huge shade tree. I didn't get to use it but there is a BBQ grill and metal table and chairs. Washing machine and dryer are in the basement. There is no hand rail in the staircase going to the basement so one has to be careful going down. The house is fully stocked with extra towels and consumables. A cleaning closet has all the cleaning tools to keep the house clean during the stay. I parked my car on the driveway throughout the stay as the street parking is usually occupied.
I am glad I stayed here. The location was convenient for me and the neighborhood was great. If I ever return to Portland, I would rent this house again.
