This is a beautiful property. The decor was fun and unique - we enjoyed finding the small touches. If you’re looking to spend a lot of time in Downtown Portland, this location is a bit far. We knew that going in and Portland has good public transit. There is a bus stop nearby - about a 5-minute walk. If you’re looking to take the bus downtown, definitely plan for a long ride: 30+ stops, at least 30 minutes.
The property was a good value. Plenty of space with an interesting layout - its a split level with ~4 distinct levels (built into a hill). Outdoor space is private and attractive. We loved the hot tub. Just wish there was more lighting in the area. If you’re tubbing at night, it’s going to be dark. Property has a number of cameras on-site, including one looking at the hot tub area.
The neighborhood seemed decent. We certainly didn’t feel unsafe at any point and we did a good amount of walking around.
Not necessarily a fan of the heating/cooling situation. The lower level will be very warm whilst the upper level is frigid (typically you’d expect the opposite). The last night/morning was chilly (November) and the cold made it impossible to sleep - the blanket on the bed was thin. Had to move downstairs. I had thought to adjust the thermostat, but it was locked and requires a passcode which we were not give. Heat does not kick on until 66 degrees, with the thermostat being on the main floor and the temperature differential throughout the house makes this not the ideal setup.
We ended up tripping a circuit breaker and we’re unable to access the electrical box. Wasn’t a big deal as this was just a few outlets in the bathroom.
