This place is in a great location right off Burnside and walking distance to plenty of restaurants, coffee, and bars.
You’re also a quick walk/scooter to lots of other cool neighborhoods and a 5-10 lyft to downtown or Mississippi
Overall we enjoyed the stay but would say some of the finishing touches werent there.
Weirdly the couch in the picture is not the couch in the apartment. Not a big deal but the pics are more stylish than the place itself. The cords for the router and tv are kind of a mess of clutter in the corner. I even noticed the map of Portland in the pictures isn’t on the wall of the unit either. Just bizarre.
Another minor issue was that a group of homeless people setup shop in the sidewalk directly across the street. It is completely not the fault of the owner and we know it’s a struggle in a lot of large cities and it’s not like we expect an immediate solution or for the cops to be called or anything. We did let the host know towards the end of our stay and they are working on a solution.
However it would be a lie to say it didn’t effect our vacation when every time you look out the window it’s just a mess of trash and tents. The host did try and address it and said they would do all they could to have the city come ask them to move since they were blocking the sidewalk. I didn’t see it mentioned in any other reviews so I’m guessing it’s not a persistent problem but my wife did say that if she was staying there alone or with girlfriends she wouldn’t have felt too safe.
