I can highly recommend Dina as a host! She is both amiable and attentive, thoughtful and a good communicator. The apartment itself was as advertised, and has a stylish contemporary feel to it. Being a basement apartment, it was lit better than I had expected, with natural light coming from three windows.
Dina's house is situated in a quiet neighborhood close to Mt. Tabor Park, a convenience store, grocery stores, restaurants, and also not far from the 84 freeway that will take you into downtown Portland. The apartment is quite well insulated, so noise from upstairs was minimal during my stay. During the heat of summer, I suspect the basement is also the coolest part of the house.
Due to an uncertain time of transition brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic I extended my stay to four and a half months, and Dina was very helpful in sorting out the details. I will say that the full kitchen and laundry facility were big factors in my decision to stay longer. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay.
I hope your stay is as enjoyable as mine!
