Book it now!!
I had a great 1-week stay in Slabtown at Hayden’s 1-bedroom place. I was new to Portland and loved Slabtown with its restaurants, fitness, yoga, and coffee shops all within walking distance. Read more about Slabtown here - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slabtown,_Portland,_Oregon
My week also included the crazy heat wave (max 117 degrees!!). Hayden made sure I had AC during the stay. I felt safe being alone (in contrast to the Pearl district at night). Comfy bed, good water pressure in shower.
Hayden is incredibly responsive and kind. My biggest regret is that I did not book it for longer.
