The property is extremely clean and comfortable, the communication was a breeze (Jason was very patient and responsive, which I appreciated a lot). Just something to keep in mind - the rental does not come with a laundry washer/dryer, which IS indicated in the listing by the owner. Also, if you are a light sleeper, you might be bothered a little bit by the occasional noise from the traffic behind the property or the HVAC on the basement level (if you choose to stay there at night). Although conveniently located, in my subjective opinion, the area does not feel completely safe. To be fair, it is not specific to this particular neighbourhood, this is what we have observed throughout the whole city of Portland (we visit regularly and unfortunately it has been getting worse). The host is doing an outstanding job maintaining the property, which definitely makes it look and feel more welcoming than the rest of the district.
