First off: location really can't be beat, if you're looking to stay in NW Portland! Great access to public transportation. Parking available around the broader neighborhood, or in a nearby lot.
Apartment is remarkably clean and is visibly recently-renovated. Furniture is great--modern, clean, sturdy. Kitchen, at least, was well-appointed.
That said, this apartment just isn't very practical.
1. As another commenter has mentioned, the apartment is in an old house--not unusual for Portland! However, it is incredibly drafty, and there is no heater anywhere but the bedroom. This makes most of the apartment impractically cold half the year. Adding space heaters would fix this. Adding thicker blankets would also help. Otherwise, I would not suggest staying here during fall through early spring.
2. As other commenters have mentioned, the apartment has very thin walls, to the point where you can hear people standing outside on the sidewalk as though they're standing right next to you. It's also on a busy street. It is also downstairs from an apartment--that is under construction, so maintenance folks are going to wake you up at 8am and run through the entire day, apparently. I've lived in urban environments for years, including a Victorian on Castro Street in San Francisco, and never experienced an apartment quite this noisy. Bring ear plugs!
3. Front door is right off a busy street, and for some reason there is no curtain over the glass in the front door. Passersby can see into the apartment 100%. There is also a mirror positioned so they can see into the bedroom. It looks like there used to be a door preventing this, but the host removed it to make the apartment seem more open-concept. Not a great move! Would not suggest women stay in the apartment, particularly alone, for this reason.
4. Only two towels in the whole apartment, for some reason. Also, no hair dryer. If you're a woman or just have long hair, consider staying elsewhere or packing all of your own belongings. You will be wet and cold.
Was a shame, because this apartment is otherwise really lovely and promising! It seems like they may be renovating the building and looking to make some short-term cash on Airbnb before renting, but I would avoid this particular unit unless you expect the weather to be perfect and you can hang something to cover the front door.
