Elie’s place was great. We had no problem staying in his basement because it does not seem like a basement. As soon as you walk in it looks like a modern apartment. We really liked everything about the place. It’s a good size for 2 people. The bed and the pillows are very comfortable. We did not need to turn the heater on in the room because the cover kept us warm. The restroom was great because it has a heater and a towel warmer. Elie’s place was extremely clean. We had no problem finding parking, there’s a lot of street parking in front of the house.
Elie greeted us when we arrived and showed us the apartment. He was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. It was very easy to communicate with him. He was a great host and we will definitely consider staying here again next time we visit Portland.
