This was a nice, simple, clean place with no complications and no hassles. The host was super friendly, and efficiently did the minimal communication needed, leaving us alone to enjoy our stay.
The space offers good privacy with private stairs leading up from the entryway and its own private bathroom inside with shower, etc. No problems whatsoever with the amenities. There was a bluetooth music player, snacks, fridge, microwave, various sundry dry goods on hand, and kind offers from the host to help out with more if needed.
There are windows on each side for good ventilation. We stayed there during the most extreme heat wave Portland has seen in a while and yet we stayed pretty comfortable -- although the place is not air conditioned, it was reasonably comfortable even during that heat wave. It must be well insulated.
Worries: we worried that because it was an attic, it might be cramped, have a low ceiling, or be hot. It was a bit warmer up there than outside, especially in the evening. The ceiling was not low, except on the edges. It was like any standard height height ceiling. It wasn't cramped at all. The bedroom is large, with ample space around the bed, and the living room is very large, with an added air bed over and above the sofa shown in the picture. We worried what if it's not clean? But it was super clean and felt almost like a new place with new stuff.
The main bed was fantastic. The air bed in the living room was OK (what do you expect, it was an air bed) but the main bed, in the bedroom, was not an air bed, and it was amazing. I have to find out what it was. Some kind of combination mattress that had springs built in to it (no separate box spring) and a topper of memory foam. Really felt good.
Neighbors were quiet. There was no smoke drifting in from outside at night (your mileage may vary). The place was not perfumed, which we appreciated very much.
Everyone has already pointed out this is a great location, and it's true. It was even closer to Alberta Street than I expected, and it's at a really nice section of Alberta.
Will definitely try to book this again for future trips.
