My husband and I just stayed at the Songbird for the week. Like other reviewers have said, the space looks exactly as pictured and was very clean (which is very important to me!) and thoughtfully designed. While it is a small space, the high ceilings and lots of natural light make it feel open, and the bathroom was larger than I expected. While it is close to the owner’s home, it is designed in a way that feels private and we didn’t see or hear them at all. I also enjoyed working on my laptop on the patio. If you haven’t visited this area of Portland, it’s kind of a mixed area- really cute homes and shops mixed in with some more rundown homes and homeless population. However, we felt quite safe and tucked away in the house (and also felt safe out and about). We found a few great spots nearby- Tabor Bread has great coffee, breads and pastries, Mt Tabor park was a beautiful place to run/exercise and Cibo was a really great Italian restaurant we enjoyed.
