Mariah was an excellent host. The location for one is in a very convenient spot being right next to Mississippi ave, but even getting into other parts of Portland via the very clean bus system is an easy walk away. The privacy is a solid aspect to this place as well. It felt in many ways we had our own separate house given there is an entirely separate entrance to the yard through the parallel alley. The amenities of having a full kitchen allowed us the chance to cook some meals rather than eating out all the time as well. Mariah was a very nice and accommodating host. Very timely in every response to any message I had. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Portland whatever the length of time.
