A truly great stay at Gabriella's place! It hit all the marks and more. It's an apt that has plenty of space and is very nicely appointed, both decor and appliances. I wondered if having no stovetop would matter. Not at all. Instead, I used a nifty supplied egg cooker/steamer, an air fryer (chicken, steak, yum), the toaster oven, the espresso and coffee maker, large refridge, microwave ... I could go on. :)
The space is technically in a basement but it gets plenty of light; it feels open, cozy, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Gabriella clearly gave this space design-thought. It's just as it appears.
The nice shared bathroom/shower is a few steps away -- and I never crossed paths with the guest in the adjacent smaller room (that would have been fine either way).
The neighborhood is one of Portland's nicest, in the Alameda area, and close to coffee shops, stores, cool restaurants off Fremont and Alberta Streets.
Finally, Gabriella is a super host -- communicated easily/quickly, asked what I needed during my extended stay, and just a pleasure. I feel fortunate to have found this spot.
