I stayed at Kathleen's place for 3 weeks right after moving to Portland while I looked for a place to live. The house is in a great location! Easily walkable to Division St with plenty of restaurants and shops. Being a woman staying alone I felt very safe. I had a car so I'm not sure of the ease of public transportation, but everything I needed was either in walking or short driving distance. Parking on the street was readily available and with no restrictions. Check-in was easy, with a combination lock on the door so no key needed. Kathleen was very responsive to any questions or issues I had. It is a basement apartment, so it does feel like a basement, but on the plus side it was very cool during the heat wave that Portland was having. My cat came to stay for the last few days, so I appreciate that the house is welcoming to pets! I would definitely recommend for others to stay here.
