Excellent space, with extra touches that make a difference. A variety of pillows, so you’re sure to find one that works for you, premium bath products (in refillable containers, yay!), a functional kitchen even with only the single burner (good pots and pans, sharp knives, a toaster and electric kettle), etc. It’s clear that Rosalind cares about the environment, with the aforementioned refillable bath products, biodegradable trash bags, recycling and composting (!) options that all offset some of the carbon footprint of a typical AirBnB stay. It’s a fairly small space; I wouldn’t recommend it for more than two people (maybe three or four if you have small children) if you plan on spending a lot of time “at home.”
If you’re looking for peace and quiet you won’t find that here, but if you’re used to a vibrant family environment it feels a lot like home. The desk was a welcome spot for working. (The chair is functional but not great.) The neighborhood felt safe and walking around was a delight; some yards and gardens were magnificent. Irving park is just a few blocks away, and a great boba tea place (Ding Tea on Williams) is within easy walking distance. And take advantage of Portland’s vibrant food truck scene while you’re in town — what a treat!
Rosalind’s communication was excellent, she went out of her way to make it a pleasant stay. Would definitely stay here again.
