Everything about our stay at Jennifer's place was better than expected. The photos of this places really don't do it justice. They've effectively turned their basement into a fully furnished one bedroom apartment complete with full kitchen, living room and bedroom.
Jennifer and her family have also loaded the place with amenities. They provided us with shampoo and conditioner, bath salts, plenty of clean towels and blankets, a foot massager, and one of the most comfortable beds I think I've slept on. They also provided a well-written tourist's guide for the immediate area around the Air BNB filled with lists and reviews of bars, restaurants, and cannabis dispensaries as well as parks, hiking trails and tourist attractions in the greater Portland area.
As other reviewers have pointed out, sometimes noises from upstairs can be heard below but it never got to an obnoxious level and they could only be heard during the late morning to early afternoon hours. They always honored their own 10 p.m. noise curfew.
The only real complaint I could see somone having is the lack of thermostat control from the basement level -- but I should add that the heater was always turned on during the day and there were stacks of extra blankets to use at night so it never really became an issue during our stay.
All in all, I would highly recommend staying in Jennifer's place. Her and her family have worked magic at turning their basement into a little home away from home.
