Look elsewhere: I consider all factors before warning against a place of business, but as a regular visitor to PDX, I can firmly assert there are much better places to stay in this beautiful town.
For starters: cleanliness.
This matters most to any overnight stay. We had dust bunnies and various trash including a random bottle cap. Under the bed.
If they are charging as much as they are for cleaning services, they need to find someone else as mine is not the only review to complain of this (in hindsight, we were looking in a hurry as we needed a place to stay while moving out of state).
Stocked: barely. No toilet paper.
The only thing in plenty were cleaning supplies for the cleaners who never dusted or vacuumed under furnitures.
We’d arrived almost near midnight, so due to the late hour, trekked to the nearest Safeway to pick up our own. Again, there was another review complaining of this.
Communication with owner:
Tedious and unhelpful in light of the above. He’d message for three days straight before our stay, each about aspects of his “house rules” (including washing our own kitchenware before leaving which, again, what are the cleaners doing? We’ve been happy to load dishwashers before but that isn’t even an option here.
Then he sent his last message asking we leave a review of at least 4 stars and to comment in private any critiques. It felt unnecessarily burdensome and hovering. The location is in walking distance to an amazing neighborhood, but this place nowhere redeems it.
