I would say this is an essential place to stay if you're visiting Portland. The space was perfect for my wife and myself for our 2 days in the area. Lots of restaurants, great walking location and the neighborhood felt extremely safe with a very easy check in process. The backyard was beautiful, but unclear if we were actually allowed to use the space or not. My only recommedation is putting up some sort of blinds or curtain in the bedroom windows. Even though it's a basement apartment, if you're walking down the driveway you can see straight into the bedroom.
