The Tiny Red Gem is a great place to stay in Portland! It's located right off of a busy street with a bunch of restaurants and shops, however, you can't hear (or barely hear - we didn't notice it though) the street from the Air BnB. One of the restaurants uses part of the street for outdoor seating, which is nice because it blocks off traffic coming from the busy street and makes the one you're staying on rather quiet and cozy. The hosts seem really sweet. They were sitting outside on the porch when we arrived and welcomed us to the area. They went inside immediately afterwards, which might have been a coincidence, but I found the overall exchange comforting. The host seems to personally meet everyone who stays in their home, but doesn't crowd them and make them feel uncomfortable or awkward. There's a cute path around the side of the house that leads into the backyard, which was private and well lit. The bottom lock on the door doesn't work, but the same key works for the deadbolt, which worked fine. I'm a pretty paranoid person and felt safe staying there for the night, so hopefully that's reassuring for some. We only stayed here for one night, but it was a great place to rest and recharge on our road trip. I snooped around in the kitchen and bathroom and was pleased to discover that Judith had provided all kinds of amenities - very thoughtful! Lastly, I just wanted to comment on how comfortable the mattress (or mattress topper) was. Mind you, we had been on the road for a few days, but I have a pretty comfortable mattress at home and sank into the bed at Judith's place. Highly recommended!
