We enjoyed the freedom of the self check in process -- we were able to keep sightseeing without worrying about checking in with the host! Was lovely and clean, extremely quiet with sunlight in the morning, deck right outside to enjoy some of the fruit and coffee Jeffrey put out. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in a more upscale neighborhood and near popular Portland attractions. Do give yourself more time in the morning in case you need to wait for the bathroom. We had to leave early for the airport and ended up being on the exact same schedule as the other couple! (Just think of it like sharing a bathroom at your family's home).
