I had an excellent 10-night business stay in a Queen room in one of the adjacent guesthouses. These rooms are in large Victorian homes that have been converted into hostel accommodations. The location is unbeatable in my opinion for easy access to the best parts of NW Portland. I would definitely recommend as a high-value option in a killer location, with the usual pros/cons of being situated in a hostel. I will definitely stay there again if I'm back in Portland.
As far as the overall aesthetic of the guesthouses, I would describe them as very dated with older furniture and light mustiness. This doesn't bother me, but it was notable and may impact decisions for some travelers. However, this was clear from the photos and the description pages are highly accurate. The only negative of my stay was that the air conditioning did not hold up to the immense heat wave (110 degrees) and these 2 nights were oppressively hot, nearly unbearable. However, the other 8 nights the AC worked well for the age of the building and stayed cool during 90 degree heat.
Overall, a perfect last-minute booking that exceeded my expectations.
