We had a lovely stay in downtown Portland at this historic location. We thoroughly enjoyed the setup kitchen, and the large bedrooms with clean, comfortable, and stylish linens. We ate breakfast on the porch, enjoying the large mature trees on the property, and a view of the neighborhood.
Another huge plus was being 2.5 blocks away from the Franz bread factory. Every day we awoke to the delicious smell of baking bread and visited the shop (9 - 6 M-F) for ourselves and to take home to the family. We also enjoyed the convenience of the light rail, which was easy to ride and only a few blocks from the house. We took this to a variety of downtown shopping and eating areas, both of which were very enjoyable.
Completely beyond the host's control is the increasing homeless problem due to house prices and the general economic instability of the pandemic. It was sad and ever-present. The homeless are incredibly polite, and we were never bothered. I would feel uncomfortable as a woman walking alone in the neighborhood of the house too long after dark, so consider this in your vacation plans. It was not a problem for us as we were a group, and Uber/Lyft are present in Portland.
