We stayed at Gwen's recently while in Portland for a family event. It happened to be an extremely hot weekend and the basement lodging stayed perfectly cool throughout. It's a clean and cozy place with a fireplace for days or nights that are cool. We appreciated the breakfast snacks that were provided and Gwen checked in with us when we arrived to see if we needed anything, so we felt well taken care of.
The entrance is private through a beautiful garden. Located in Portland's SW neighborhood, this is not the place for those who desire to be in the heart of a happening district, but rather for anyone desiring peace and the experience of a lovely residential neighborhood with amenities nearby in Multnomah Village.
