I stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the area. The experience from booking to checking out was flawless and Blaine/Taylor kept me updated prior to my arrival on the forest fires/smoke situation taking place in the area and how that would potentially impact my visit to Portland...even taking the time to look up popular tourist attractions for me to see what their closures and hours were. The place was easy to find...directions and check-in instructions were clear. I was impressed with the communication within the space itself..a house manual with easy to follow instructions/pictures on how to use certain items within the unit, along with a very detailed list of local restaurant/bar/cafe recommendations. Parking right outside was never an issue and the unit was fully equipped with all the amenities one would need. Coffee from a local cafe provided along with all the kitchen items you would use during a stay. I personally loved that there was a luggage rack to put my bag on vs. on the floor. This is a totally separate basement unit so while there are plenty of windows know that you are at/below ground level and eye level with the driveway. With that, as some reviewers have said, it does mean the family is above you so you can hear movement from above. The noise from young toddlers during the day did not bother me but something to keep in mind prior to booking. It was extremely quiet at night/early morning though and Blaine did reach out to apologize and tried to keep the noise level to a minimum (they were staying inside more than usual given the smoke situation from forest fires). Overall, you can tell why Blaine/Taylor are superhosts....they are experienced, professional and provide a good product to their guests!
