My only experience with the hosts was via email and text - I was staying two nights on a trip to inspect a house to buy for my upcoming move to Portland. It was a last minute booking so there wasn't much available but I couldn't be happier with the result.

They responded quickly, which helped immensely. After a very long day of travel and meetings I found their quiet side street and the side door leading to the unit. Down some stairs past the washer and dryer and I entered the unit.

What you can't tell from the pictures is how clean and new it feels when you walk in. The bed is on a different wall from the pictures which makes it feel more roomy and less studio-y. I took a shower in the pretty and CLEAN bathroom, then passed out and if there was any noise from above I didn't hear it.

The next morning I was super happy to see that there was not only a coffee maker but really good ground coffee to put in it and cold milk in the fridge for it. The little table was the perfect size to spread out papers and take notes while drinking coffee.

I am really sensitive to the smell of mildew and know from my recent house-hunting that it's common in a lot of basements and it wasn't noticeable at all in this unit.

There are lots of excellent places to eat a short drive away (but that's Portland in general).

If you need a nice, comfortable, clean place to stay don't hesitate to book this place.
