Matthew's place was perfect for our stay in Portland. My sister and I needed a clean and cozy place to call home base for all of our adventures for our weekend stay. Our expectations were exceeded. Matthew was accommodating to our weird arrival time and we really appreciated the mini-fridge filled with water and being able to reheat our food in the microwave and toaster oven. He had great recommendations and the space was very comfortable. In response to all the reviews about their being minimal privacy, I would have to completely disagree. Matthew not only provides a curtain at the bottom of the stairs, but a room divider as well. We were able to completely section the stairs off and it was just as private as having an actual door. We felt Matthew's place was a great for the price!
