As a frequent visitor of Portland, I can easily say this was one of the best places we have stayed in our 15 years coming to the city. In reading other reviews, you (the reader) have likely already heard a lot of great comments about how comfortable the bed is, the space has such thoughtful touches and great amenities, easy parking off the street, your own private entrance (with stairs) etc.
Since there is already such great reviews, here are a few things I'd add that I would have wanted to be aware of coming in:
If you are out for the day and come home late at night, make sure you bring a flashlight or a light on your phone. We didn't want to leave the porch light on to our space all day (but you probably could...) and the side of the house and stairs are pretty dark and hard to navigate without a light, so be prepared. There is a motion sensor light when you first come in the yard that helped some however.
The curtains in the space are super cute, but pretty see through. As a mom/daughter, we felt we had to hide in a few spots to get dressed, just our own body paranoia! We never felt uncomfortable around Beth or Robert at all and had minimal interaction with them, they offered as much contact as we wanted/needed and we only saw them for a moment when we first arrived.
We happened upon Portland during this trip in a major heat wave - over 90 degrees for the days we were there! We luckily had packed a tiny fan (for white noise), and snagged a small fall that was in the bathroom to try to cool our bedroom down the first night. The second night we came home to find a box fan from Beth and Robert at the entry way to our space - it was the best gift ever! My husband is a polar bear and cannot handle the heat, so this is not a spot we could stay at (with no AC) with the temps that hot. But for spring/early summer and late fall/winter when Portland isn't going through the hottest temps, he'd be fine. My daughter and I still slept fairly well, but did fell warmer than we typically like when we sleep.
There was a water carafe in the fridge and ice already made - for some reason this was a highlight for me since filling up my hydroflask at different places on our trip had been challenging. To have nice cold water and ice was a bonus each day!
The shower was so neat to walk into and the shower heads were fantastic and relaxing. The stones did hurt our feet a tiny bit - again these are minor details that would not keep me from returning, but I think knowing this ahead of time from other reviews would have been nice.
As far as distance goes, it is a bit of a drive to get into downtown Portland, but we never had trouble and didn't sit in traffic too long. It is worth the small drive to be in that space, I promise!
We felt safe and comfortable and well looked after the whole time, especially as two single girls (me and my 17yr old daughter) coming to stay by ourselves. Thanks to Robert and Beth for all the time and work they have put into this space, it was lovely.
