The photos do a good job showing what to expect, and more than met my simple needs of a place to sleep, solid wifi, and easy access to I5. The place doesn't look like much from the outside (nor is the neighborhood), but once inside it's quite nice. Though just chilling on the deck turned out to be my favorite aspect. Plus the hosts couldn't be nicer or more welcoming, and gave me plenty of ideas for places to eat or see while I was in Portland for work.
