This posting is for a room in a hostel - the hostel operation is actually comprised of several different homes on the same block converted into units. The house we stayed in was sparsely furnished and the furnishings are not updated at all. Bathrooms were as clean as they could be but everything is just older. I did see a spider, probably typical of older homes. The room itself was not the one depicted in the cover photo but it was similar. If there was AC in the room, it was hard to tell, and we had to run the small fan the entire time even though it was 75 degrees outside. The mattresses were really old! The room was definitely not a room that I’d want to spend any extra time in outside of sleeping and getting dressed - good thing Portland has a lot of activities! The location was good, within walking distance to most sights on the west side of the river.
