This basement apartment is in a nice area of NE Portland. I wish we would have had more time to explore. The apartment was mostly clean, only issue was an accumulation of dust under the couch (something rolled under the couch and it was pretty gross under there). The freezer needs defrosted, it was unusable. There was no coffee or spices or anything in the kitchen. The couple spices that were there, were unusable bricks. Luckily, there was a great coffee shop just a couple blocks away.
The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the big shower! I wouldn't hesitate staying here again in the future.
Our biggest issue was check in. We arrived and followed the instructions provided. We spent a while trying to get the key to fit the lock and we were unsuccessful. I contacted the host and they let me know that they had recently upgraded to a keypad lock. They provided the code and we got in fine. It would have been a nightmare had we arrived in the dark though.
