The best thing about this place was the location. The neighborhood has a lot of restaurants within walking distance, and is a quick Lyft or Uber to some downtown (Pearce district?) bars. Street parking was easy to find and pay for, the app for the meter that was mentioned was great!
The neighborhood, and unit really reflect the “essence” of keep Portland weird. Reminds us of Capital Hill in Seattle.
We chose this place because there weren’t dog fees or limits. Pca, the host we were in contact with,was considerate to the fact that we had 3 pups with us. Getting in touch wasn’t the smoothest when we first arrived but better after the obstacle was discovered (incorrect contact info in the portal).
We think that the unit could use a remodel, and the property overall needs some TLC. The pictures really sell the unit when it was at its best.
Maybe we missed this in the description but:
-washer/dryer are located outside of the unit (we ended up not using)
-walls are really thin. Like really thin. A neighbor let us know he could hear us and we thought okay we were just too loud, and went to bed. The next day when using the restroom I could clearly hear the conversation of someone next door. Didn’t unnerve me, I just felt bad for the neighbor realizing how thin they were.
I’d recommend this unit for someone who just needs a place to crash isn’t planning on being in the unit for long periods, prefers to be within walking distance of good eats/bars, likes “divey” eclectic scenes.
It wasn’t up to our tastes; we didn’t really want to touch anything, found the tub disgusting and wore flip flops in the shower.
The king sized bed was a supremely comfy respite from the rest of the unit, and I honestly had the best sleep I’ve had in a very long time.
3/5, but could be a total 5 with some updates and TLC. Wishing the best for the Hosts!
