Overall a mediocre stay -- wouldn't stay here again -- but it's not without its benefits.
Pros: Good cost/value, absolutely amazing location. At just a few blocks from a well-appointed Fred Meyer, Hawthorne Ave, and Belmont Ave in the other direction, you have the best SE Portland has to offer within a short walk. The river and eastside downtown are a ~30 minute walk West through very Portland-esque neighborhoods. Excellent place to be. TV, wifi, and kitchen all worked well for crashing at the end of a long day. The bathroom is small but adequate, takes some coordination if you're using both bedrooms for your stay. Quiet, safe, wooded neighborhood with plenty to see and do.
Cons: Take the presence of A/C with a grain of salt: they're window units that had been removed just before we arrived, which was right on the edge of autumn. The first two nights were quite uncomfortable as screens hadn't been placed in the windows (spoke with the owner about this, they're custom and on order)...So it seems to me the A/C shouldn't have been removed yet. The trouble here is that it's an old house with no central air so as you should expect, it can get musty and stuffy in there -- you really need to have some circulation. We ended up having to leave the windows open without screens with obvious concerns over critters and insects getting in. Neighbors smoking outdoors meant leaving some of the windows closed, exacerbating the issue. One fan is provided but it isn't enough. The next two nights were cool but rainy, so it was still pretty humid at night.
Not much furniture in that living room, ended up using kitchen table chairs to assist.
Again due to the small house, you have to keep the noise down, and the upstairs neighbords leaving for work mean you're not sleeping past 7. They're just doing their thing up there, but it sounds like they're dragging furniture around nonetheless.
The location and price really sell this place, but there are some rough edges.
