We would recommend this unit to anyone looking to spend a few days in Portland. The owners did everything right from a service perspective to make our stay easy and pleasant in a clean, comfortable unit. We did not want for anything. Only marking this to 4 stars because it is a pseudo-basement unit and that made it feel less upscale than a hotel room, apartment, or house. By pseudo-basement, I mean it was underground but had little light wells that brought light into many windows in all the rooms. If I could go to 4.5 stars, I would because everything was so well done. There are many of these basement units in Portland because it just makes sense to turn that basement into a vacation rental and it works well for a short stay.
Good things about a basement unit:
Underground units maintain comfortable temperature no matter the weather outside.
Super quiet - no noise from the street or neighbors.
A nice cozy feeling.
Not-so-good things about a basement unit:
Limited natural light. We were not in the unit much during the day so this was not a big issue, but might make a long-term stay less appealing.
No views.
Can be a little small.
A good thing to note about this unit that is important in Portland - there were no homeless people roaming around anywhere nearby. The neighborhood was great and a bunch of eateries within walking distance.
Kitchen had everything you would need, though we didn't use it much. The space was small with no dining area but the owners had a clever coffee table that would convert to a full-height table for eating. Ed and Kym stocked the place with games and books.
For us, this was a a little more expensive than a hotel but we had 4 people so it was a much better option because of the two full bedrooms and we weren't in the unit much during the day.
