This place is a pretty good location for a decent price, but when you turn on the heat, the whole house starts to smell like mould. There may also be other allergens in the air - I suspect pets, but that was never confirmed. Then the walls are very thin and we could hear every step – quite loudly – through the ceiling and even conversation. I could even hear the people upstairs peeing in the middle of the night.... Never mind the loud flushing! If you also plan to stay out late, this is a good option as a convenient place to crash, but if you are in Portland for professional reasons and need a good night's rest, I would suggest looking into other accommodation.
