I booked a last minute trip to Portland and this place was available. I was hesitant because it’s in the lower part of a house (although entirely closed off) and i was concerned that it might be dark. It very much exceeded our expectations. It was lovingly furnished and had exactly what we needed. The backyard was relaxing and the deck above separates us from upstairs folks by not only wood but also by a tin roof. (No getting dripper on from rain or watering plants!). Check in was easy. I appreciated some snacks left for us and my dog enjoyed some treats. Very cozy and exactly what we needed.
Oh! And the neighborhood is adorable. Parking was easy. We actually ended up walking much longer and farther than anticipated because each cluster of shops and bars was so close together. A truly endearing part of Portland that rivals the historic parts of Seattle (I say that as a local in one of those parts). All in all, my partner and I agreed that this was our favorite Portland trip and that was strongly correlated to location. From now on, this is the area we’re staying :)
