First time Portland visitors here. We really enjoyed this place. It was a bit out of our comfort zone at first (never used an airbnb before) but we quickly became attached. It is very cozy and home like. We had no issues with people being on the porch of the restaurant or any privacy issues at all. The employees could get a bit loud - specifically singing to themselves loudly, but that was it. The hot tub was super fun too. We did not have to share the hot tub with anyone during our stay. The bathroom and the bed are very close together, and the bathroom has no door (its covered by a curtain you can pull). So if you are not very familiar with your roomies, Id be aware of that! As far as location goes - most days we did the 15-20 min drive across the river to the gardens and shopping etc. so I would plan on renting a car. The only negatives we had were loud employees, flies in the room when we arrived, no microwave (that we could find, at least). The shower is very cool, and the aesthetic of the place really grows on you. I think the price is a little high, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Also, the hot tub could use a few more privacy curtains, just for privacys sake. If you are going to Portland for the first time, I do highly suggest staying here!
