We stayed four nights at Alexandra's place and, while it was an enjoyable stay, there were a few pros/cons I thought it would be helpful to share.
Pros:
-Much more affordable than the hotels in the area
-Clean, trendy, and more than enough space for two people
-The river walk behind the apartments was nice. Highly recommend checking it out for a peaceful stroll
-The washer and dryer came in handy as it was a bit colder than we expected for late June
-The electric door lock was nice, and Alexandra's check-in instructions were helpful and included all the key details we needed.
Cons:
-You do have to walk past some fairly sketchy homeless people to get basically anywhere you need to go in the area, including public transportation (yes, this is Portland, and homeless are everywhere, but I wasn't super comfortable seeing someone get tased by the cops at 8:30 am across the street)
-The apartment is on the first floor and it sounds as if a herd of elephants may live upstairs. They also enjoyed partying late night with friends both in their apartment and on their balcony, and the walls/floors are very thin, so we heard every word. Lots of walking back and forth and dragging of chairs/furniture. We used a sound machine on our phone to mitigate some of the noise, but this was honestly the biggest thing that made me regret not getting a hotel (although Alexandra did reach out to management after we approached her about it, we didn't find that they quieted down much the next day).
