Long story short - we loved our stay but there were some issues.
Pros:
* AMAZING location. The place is nestled in between two popular streets (21st & 23rd) that are very very walkable. It's also extremely close to all of the major parks in Portland (Forest Park, Washington Park, the gardens..). AND!! directly across from a Trader Joe's.
* Great light. My husband and I enjoy a good book and this place had incredible light all day.
*Funky but fun layout.
*Loved having the balcony.
*Felt very secure and safe.
Cons:
* Parking. You have to pay hourly for street parking except past 7p and Sundays. It really racks up in cost.
* Noise. Although the windows are double pained, you can hear everything happening on the sidewalk. We did eventually get used to it but be warned.
* There was no bath plug, so we were unable to enjoy the bath as advertised. Make sure there is a plug.
* the outdoor furniture on the patio is old and unusable so you won't be able to sit outside unless refurnished.
Aside from that we really loved our stay. We were sad to leave!!
