I spent 2 nights at Kelly's place in Portland and it was delightful, absolutely worthy of 5 stars! Kelly met me at her front door and she gave me the key. She and I had been in touch via email/text regarding arrival times. The unit is separate from the rest of the house and has its own entrance in the back of the house via the gravel trail, through the big wooden door and into the private patio area. There are two doors: one with the locks to actually let you inside the foyer and then another door that opens to a flight of stairs up into the unit itself. Once inside the door, remove your shoes and go up the stairs and there you are! The unit appears as the photos show: a large room that includes the bed (very comfy!), sofa for relaxing, nook for the small fridge & coffee set-up, small table & chairs for desk/eating. There is also a very BIG bathroom with shower (great water pressure and plenty of hot water), lots of shelving. Kelly was kind enough to have a little basket of small toiletries (including Q-tips, which I had forgotten so I was happy to see those!). The entire place is carefully decorated, painted and furnished. Kelly is an artist and the paintings are her own. The A/C unit worked great - it does get hot in Portland in the summer. I can't really speak to the neighborhood as most of my time was spent at the Oregon coast during the day but at night it was VERY quiet. It is a residential neighborhood of well-kept single family homes. Kelly had kindly provided a detailed list of where to get the best coffee, breakfasts, etc in the neighborhood.
