This place was much as described, and our stay was very pleasant. Very much a Portland place. We were quite comfy, and everything went very well. We will be back I'm sure. The noise from the kids from upstairs did not bother us, but they are lively. For those who are closer to six feet tall, this place might be a bit of a challenge, because of the duct work that is below the ceiling height in parts of this basement apartment.
