It was very hot while we were in Portland so we were glad to be in a basement apartment. The stairs are narrow and very shallow like you'd expect going to a cellar so not ideal for the unfit. The room was clean and the bathroom small but up to date, it was quiet and the bed comfortable. Very convenient location for our purpose or anyone wanting to be in SE Portland. There is a coffee machine but only de caf and cider while we were there. I'm sure our host would have happily supplied regular coffee. We didn't let it bother us as we were headed to a cafe and there is coffee within walking distance. Lacks curb appeal but we weren't sleeping outside and that is an easy fix.
