This Place was Great. I would have killed many people to have had this apartment when i lived in Portland, from its amazing location, to the split layout, and spaciousness.
Some of this will repeat some of the reviews, but here we go.
Check in was super simple, with a keypad lock at primary entry-which is shared with lower unit, then up some steepish (period appropriate for this age of house) stairs to the inner door, where another keypad lock box houses the door key. Then a few more stairs to your oasis.
THIS IS and old house, the floors creak, expect it, enjoy it, and be glad this is an upstairs unit :)
The bedroom is well appointed and the bed is indeed very comfortable, someone recently said there were no curtains on windows some time in July, that had apparently been fixed as of July 27th and 28th, 2021 as there were very nice pull down shades that you could close from bottom or top. Also for the heat there was an a/c unit in the bedroom.
As for the porch and its door and shades, i didnt think anyone has a line of sight view into apartment from that angle, but that is only my recollection. The door still did not have curtains, but it was no bother to me.
Now to the bathroom. it is small, as it says in the listing. and as others have said, the shower is small, which having lived around Portland in the past, is not suprising, this was very common in my experience, when people convert these large homes into multi family dwellings. It was very nostalgic for me. But be ready for it, i am a tall, skinny dude, and i still had the shower curtain touching me. Other then that water pressure was good, and although it took a few, the water temp was great.
Eresford is indeed a good communicator, and his instructions for check in and out are clear and consise.
Overall this is a superb lodging, and i would grab it again if it is free. you are literally two blocks from the Bagdad Cafe, and all the other fine eateries in this part of the Hawthorne.
Over all this is a superb lodging
