I feel very lucky to have found this beautiful stay in one of the most magical neighborhoods in Portland, where I enjoyed walks morning and evening, just exploring here. The apartment itself is extremely high-quality in the way it was finished out, very efficient. Yes, it's below ground, but there is ample natural light. We came during great weather and were outside all day anyway. Some have mentioned the renter upstairs and his walking. This was no issue whatsoever; we maybe heard a few muffled footsteps for one minute each morning, and that's it. We arrived after dark and I had misplaced my entry info (my fault entirely) and was frazzled; he came out (Kate was away and had communicated in detail several days before) and was extremely friendly and tried to help. This is possibly the cleanest AirBNB I've ever stayed in, and I tend to stick with Superhosts. Parking is on the street, but really no issue at all. We parked right by the driveway. Kate's communication could not be better, and she even has provisions for you in the fridge. Yes, the sleeper sofa is comfy. Big thank you.
