I would not stay here again, nor recommend this listing to anyone.
My below review is not meant to slam David or his apartment, but rather, it's to inform potential travelers about our experience so they can make a well-informed decision to stay here.
My wife and I came to Portland for two nights, as the first leg of our Baby-Moon. Upon checking in, we were immediately turned-off by the cleanliness of the bathroom and concerned with some noticeable electrical issues throughout the apartments (exposed wires and electrical boxes). Given we didn't feel comfortable using the shower, and we were unsure about some of the electrical components, we decided to leave and get a hotel room instead. Note, we didn't reach out to David after checking in, as there wasn't anything he would have been able to do to remedy our concerns in real time. I've shared detailed feedback with David and I'm sure he will do what's necessary to fix these things.
Pros:
- Reserving: David super quick to confirm
- Check-In: David was very easy to communicate with
- Wifi
- Very good location: Safe, walkable to many tourist spots, around the corner from awesome bars and restaurants, and minutes away from the public transit system to take you anywhere in Portland
Cons:
- Unclean: Calcified water stains and mold in bathroom / shower
- Potential hazards: Exposed wires, cables and electrical boxes
- Cost: $170/night is not much less expensive than the hotel we checked in to
