I loved staying in this place! I didn't see much of the owners during my stay, as the entrance is private, but any interactions I had were super positive and friendly.
It was a perfect location for me as I was attending a training at the World Forestry Center. I was able to hike/walk to the site each morning through the beautiful neighborhood and park. I also had easy access to other hiking trails in Washington Park and visited the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden. I love to walk, so I used the park to access good restaurants, shopping and such. Public transportation is also easily accessible if walking isn't your thing. Lyft/Uber drivers are all in close proximity, too.
The place was cozy with a beautiful view from the back deck of the house, which is available for guests' enjoyment. I felt like I was in my own personal treehouse looking down on Portland! There was a nice selection of snacks and fruit, as well as coffee, which I appreciated every morning.
I was the only guest during my 3-day stay, so I had the bathroom to myself and therefore can't speak to the shared bathroom experience. However, the shared bath would not be a deterrent for me.
I would stay here again and would happily recommend this to other travelers!
