My mother and I absolutely loved staying in the “Unicorn Apartment” (when you stay, you’ll see why!). We booked it while hunting for a permanent home in the Portland area.
Let me start off by applauding the location - probably my favorite element. It’s about two blocks from a grocery store and near all kinds of coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, as well as being maybe seven minutes from central Portland, while still having that quiet, neighborhood feeling.
It was also very fun and quirky inside, with a hodge podge of styles and items that felt quintessentially “Portland”. It’s a standard basement apartment, with a little kitchenette, and it has a couple ground-level windows. The rooms actually had some natural light despite the nature of basements, which was a pleasant surprise. It was also clean and there were fresh towels and bedding as well as extras and a pretty slick looking bathroom.
My mom took the bed and I took the futon. The futon was not the worst futon I’ve ever slept on but it is definitely a futon and that’s what I was expecting. The bed was, from what I was told, especially nice if you prefer firm and the duvet was wonderful.
The host, was very accommodating and responsive and I felt like our stay was valued. I’ll definitely be recommending this space to visiting friends.
