I simply can’t express how positive my stay was in Alex’s garden level apartment. The location is phenomenal in a beautiful old Portland neighborhood full of grand old houses on established tree lined streets, yet just blocks away from restaraunts, breweries, etc. And less than a 10 min drive to Portland’s trendy Pearl and Northwest District. The apartment itself is beautifully done and clearly completely renovated very recently. Not to mention immaculately clean. For a garden level apartment there are plenty of windows and light. I happened to stay during a Portland heat wave of several 90+ degree days and although the apartment does not have AC, it stayed at a cool consistent 69 degrees. I personally had no problem with noise from the level above. If you’re looking for outdoor space, Alex has set up a large beautiful yard with plenty of space to spend time outside. I’d highly recommend Alex’s units if you’re staying in the Portland area and looking for a beautiful, well done Airbnb accommodation. A+.
