I was in Portland to check out the city in preparation for an upcoming move, and I stayed at the PandaCrystalCave for one week. I absolutely loved the space! It's bigger than it looks in the photos. The bed and sofa were very comfortable, and the large TV with Netflix was nice. I enjoyed cooking meals on the gas range and it was great having all the basic dishes, drinking water dispenser, spices, olive oil, etc. I was also happy to be able to do laundry in the large W/D right outside the space.
The neighborhood is a lovely, quiet area near Mount Tabor park. I went for walks to the park and Montavilla, and took a quick Uber/Lyft to the busier Downtown or Division/Hawthorne areas that I enjoy.
I worked on my computer all day during the week (I telecommute to work). It is a basement apartment in an older home, so you will hear some noise from footsteps and muted voices from above. However, it was not too noisy and never disrupted my work or my sleep, despite me going to bed early, getting up early and being a really light sleeper.
Karri and Brian are very nice and made everything about the stay wonderful. I got a tour of the space when I arrived, which was helpful. They were available either upstairs or by text the entire time, and they were happy to answer any questions I had about Portland. They are hosts who give you your privacy but who are available when you need them.
I would definitely stay here again, and I highly recommend this space for anyone coming to Portland.
