We had a great long weekend at Bina’s place! Bina was welcoming and very responsive via Airbnb messaging. Check-in and check-out was seamless! We also really liked the code system for the door/lock, as you didn’t have to worry about keeping track of keys!
The location is perfect — it’s on the same block as Whole Foods as well as a few little shops, restaurants, a cafe, and bar on Fremont. It’s also a nice walk to more of the above on Mississippi, Williams, Alberta, and even Killingsworth. It’s about 2 miles to the waterfront/esplanade, which makes for a nice jog or an easy bike ride! The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and had plenty of street parking (we drove into the city but didn’t really need a car after that).
The apartment itself is cozy, clean, no-frills, and well-appointed with anything you’d need. It looks exactly like the photos. As mentioned in the description, there is some noise from the family upstairs in the mornings, so if you like to sleep in and or need extreme quiet, this might not be the best rental for you.
I would definitely recommend Bina’s apartment to anyone wanting a home base in Northeast Portland and/or anyone wanting to get a sense of what it’s like to live in a cute Portland neighborhood!
