First Impression: Cute homey place, plenty of street parking, nice neighborhood, nice high tech keyless lock, modern lower living space, and clean feel and look.
Things Not Mentioned in Description: Host provided indoor slippers to all guests (4), extra towels and other amenities (that we did not use but is nice to know was there such as robes, toothbrush, hairdryer, first aid kit, etc.). Host had put together a Portland guidebook of spots and restaurants to visit and try that were nearby. The place was nicely put together that there was a pullout couch and chair for relaxing in the living room area and watching TV. Any time of the day, there was always plenty of street parking. There was no floor creaking from upstairs resident. Location of stay was close to everything (highway/freeways & food spots). Sheets were clean, WiFi was fast, TV was easy to use and clean dishes and utensil were clean and available if needed.
Communication: One day of our stay, we had an issue with keyless lock and contacted the host. The issue took about 15 minutes to resolve which would have been an inconvenience if the weather was rainy and cold or if we had returned at a later hour. Other than this issue, communication was consistent and questions were addressed in a timely manner.
Stay Experience: We had 3 unexpected house guests during our stay (two house centipedes, who came out of nowhere and a spider that came out of a bath towel). We suspect this was due to the weather change, temperature heating up outside. There was a night where the neighbor was having a late get together outside their home which their voices traveled pretty through the walls of the larger room and it was a little hard to sleep.
Overall: Besides some of the minor things, I would still recommend this place to a friend for its ease of access to main streets and highways, convenience to local hot spots, plenty of street parking, comfy couch and queen bed in the room, modern look and feel, and the extra amenities. Even though this location could fit up to 6 people, I would recommend 4 people being the max to occupy this space only because it is not big or enough seating in the “living room” area.
