Everything in the listing is accurate, and this place is full of thoughtful details. From a light on the back doorknob so you can see your keys at night, to a water pitcher in the fridge to extra ziploc baggies in the cabinet.

You do have your own entrance and this is a totally private sunny basement apartment with everything you'd need for a short or long term stay. The ceilings are just fine for two super tall people (5'10, 6'4) in case you are really tall and nervous. We only stayed two nights but were dreaming up ways to come back for a week or two to stay here and see more of Portland within a few hours of being here. The bed is so comfortable. The towels are nicer than I have at home. LOTS of outlets to plug in all of your phones/computers/etc.

There are Portland/Oregon magazines in the apartment to help guide you on where to go, free quick wifi and even a little book Aysha put together to give you the info about the neighborhood and the house.

We got into town earlier than expected, and Aysha was gracious enough to let us in early and give us some amazing insider tips on what to do and where to eat. She has lived in Portland for 20 years and knows her stuff, we trusted her and it worked out perfectly!

Alberta was our favorite neighborhood we visited. Tons of free parking on all side streets and it seemed very safe, family/young people oriented. This rental is so close (walking distance even in really uncomfortable shoes) to tons of bars and restaurants (breakfast- The Tin Shed! dinner- Pok Pok Noi, Bollywood Theatre. Coffee- Extracto. Groceries- Alberta Co-Op was a block or two away, and Whole Foods is .5ish miles away too.) Cute shopping. And a very famous ice creamery called "Salt + Straw" that you should go to EARLY if you want ice cream. :)

Finally, it was fun to have a little cat to pet before we went out or when we got back. Dib Dib was usually hanging around and up for a pet.

We hope to be back asap!
