If you want to explore Hawthorne and Division without a car, then this will make a handy little base of operations. By Portland standards, it's not exceedingly expensive. Additionally, the hosts were responsive and polite.
Things I would have known upfront:
The building is shared and has quiet hours from 10pm-9am.
There is a very prominent presence of pet dander throughout the home, in the furniture, and even in the beds. Those with allergies should stay away.
The laundry machines left a foul odor on all of the clothing that passed through them.
