Overall a nice stay, with pros & cons.
If you like to stay in a home with a host, a place with character & charm, this probably isn't the place for you. This listing is perfect for folks looking for minimal interaction and as a launching pad to explore Portland.
pros:
-The place was just freshly cleaned when I arrived & was spotless
-Cozy suite w/ private bathroom
-Fully equipped kitchen
-Easy communication & self check-in/checkout
-Suite was quiet & other guests friendly & respectful
-AMAZING neighborhood, lots of cool shops & cafes & health food stores, safe & friendly
cons:
-No one actually lives there, it's more like a hostel than a home
-After my two-night stay, the house hadn't been cleaned and with several folks staying there, it was a bit lacking. The shared ground floor bathroom needed attention, as did the shared fridge, and the garbage & recycling were overflowing
-While the neighborhood is wholesome & quiet & safe, Skidmore street can be busy & loud so not the best for light sleepers
