WOW, did the Magic Second Floor in the Magic House exceed my expectations! Staying here is an unbelievable value, when you take into consideration how cozy the room is, the creative artistry of the decor, and beautiful energy of the house as a whole. I enjoyed looking out onto the sculpture garden in the backyard every morning when I woke up! Self-checkin was a breeze; Todji, Giselle & Hobie were great at communicating the house rules, and reached out several times during my stay to check in and make sure everything was going smoothly. As for the location, I could not have found a better area for my first visit to Portland - the house is within walking distance of several bus stops that connect you anywhere in the city you need to go, as well as shops/restaurants/entertainment a few blocks away on SE Hawthorne. One day I walked to Mt. Tabor, and returned down SE Division back to the house, stopping for lunch and shopping along the way. I would 100% recommend staying here if you’re looking for a truly unique Portland experience, and I hope to stay here again next time I return to the city!
