Our trip was a mother daughter vacation with my 10yo. We had an inexpensive place to stay that was really convenient as far as public transit (we relied on that to get to restaurants, shops, even Multamoah Falls!). I liked all the Portland/Oregon reference books in our room, and the whole house was pleasantly colorful. Two adorable bunnies live in the backyard that we were able to play with and Arias was a gracious host. There were games, art supplies, and musical instruments everywhere, so no worries of boredom.
The bathroom door issue—the bathroom is set up with two doors, one to each bedroom (guest and host). So knocking instead of locking was required as that makes the most sense. We had zero issues the entire week we were there, but I wonder why the third door to the bathroom, off a communal space, isn’t utilized with a lock instead.
Our room and the bathroom were clean enough and comfortable. I cooked a little in the kitchen but felt it wasn’t clean/tidy enough to use again. Other shared spaces weren’t clean, but no offensive smells or anything gross.
If you are looking for basic value accommodations and a generous host that is happy to get involved with your vacation activities, this is the one!
