This listing is accurate to how it was described, and pictured, and Kristin was a great hostess! It is in a safe, suburban neighborhood that is accessible to downtown Portland and a tremendous value vs staying in a hotel when paying personally out of pocket. However, as a single female traveling during the week for business(and not on my dollar), this place just wasn't for me. I wasn't into the noise that traveled and what comes from being in a basement space, I felt more like I was intruding on someone's home space, than having my own separate space - all a total personal preference. I love checking out new neighborhoods and thats what I got out of this trip- feeling like a local Portlander, I guess the space wasn't neutral enough for me... again personal preference knowing I was more in a 'weekday' mood than having open eyes in a new place!
