We had a very lovely four nights stay while visiting Portland. This place is an excellent value and we would be happy to stay here again. The location is great for walking to just about anything you might need; there are plenty of eating options just a couple blocks away. The back porch and garden area is very peaceful and pleasant for lounging and dining.
The big takeaways for me: there is a lot of natural light and no way to block it out, so even with my sleeping mask I struggled to sleep in at all, which I had hoped to do on my trip. I also had to find some creative ways to block out all the little inside lights, like the oven, microwave, modem, and thermostat lights.
We were happy to sleep in separate beds, so my husband slept up in the loft and I slept in the pullout bed. This is fine for us and I wouldn’t mind staying here again with the same arrangements. I know the comfort of a mattress is very subjective, so my opinion is the main pullout bed mattress is not very comfortable; it was ok for me by myself, but after a few nights I found it less comfortable, and I would never be able to share it with another person. I think it’s a more basic spring mattress that reminds me of any other pullout mattress and I don’t prefer it, but for one person it’s ok.
It’s amazing to me what they have been able to accomplish with such a small space, it’s so open and well done that it doesn’t feel small at all. Even the kitchen feels very usable! The AC works great, which we needed during our stay, and while the loft kind of freaked me out, it’s another really good use of space.
