My family (wife, 4 year old child, and dog) loved staying at Dayna’s place in the Concordia area of NE Portland!
WHAT WE LOVED:
- The unit itself is impeccably decorated and includes all the basic, yet thoughtful amenities, including some lovely local coffee and loose leaf teas. They also included amenities for our furry loved one with bowls, towels, and bags.
- The location is really great! Across the street from a coffee shop and bakery, plus mere steps from many top notch restaurants. If you’d like to walk more than a block from the place, you’ll find a grocery store, parks, and Alberta street, which features a seemingly endless number of shops and restaurants.
- Communication from Dayna and Co was prompt and helpful. Check in and checkout were very easy as well.
- The beds, though relatively small, were very comfortable, with nice quality sheets and pillows. It’s also worth noting here that the towels were quite nice too.
THINGS TO NOTE:
- The unit is part of an older building, so there isn’t a lot of sound insulation, creating some noise from the restaurants and street (buses, cars, etc). However, each room has an air conditioning unit and turning the fan on there knocked out most of the noise and the restaurants close by 10pm even on the weekends. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, generally speaking.
- Parking on the street can be a little hard to come by on busy nights, but we were able to park within a block or so of the unit every time.
- The unit gets a good amount of daylight, so during the longer days of the year, you’re basically up with the morning light (Not that we were complaining).
Overall, we would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking to be in a good location, but slightly off the beaten path of busy downtown or near downtown Portland. The location is wonderful, the unit is thoughtful and comfortable, and the hosts are attentive and helpful. What more could you want?
We can’t wait to visit again!
