Gabe's place is in a terrific location for folks looking to go out around 23rd! I recommend for folks doing a girls' or guys' weekend, who need a place to crash after enjoying everything Portland has to offer. A few strategic investments would make Gabe's place better suited to travelers interested in hanging out in comfort, including families. It could use: extra comforters and more warm touches (the largely uninsulated top story was very chilly in late December and wasn't adequately heated with the single heating unit. Gabe was kindly brought 2 extra bedspreads, but we needed a comforter, which we ultimately borrowed from my mom); more basic kitchen supplies; and new interior carpet running up the stairs and into the top story (we found Gabe's place plenty clean, but the carpet was terribly stained). As it was, the all-in cost of this stay ended up being considerably more expensive and less comfortable than a nice hotel. For families with toddlers, we'd recommend staying elsewhere, as there are 2 very steep interior stairways and no baby gates yet. Gabe's place has great bones and a good location for people interested in going out on Portland's West Side. A few changes could help to make it terrific for a wider range of travelers!
