Check-in could not have been easier, and it was a clean, cozy, quiet place to spend a night in Portland. Would recommend for anyone wanting a well-kept place to stay. We noticed a bit of paint (and slight mildew) smell, but it is a basement in a 100-year-old house, so it wasn't entirely unexpected. There was a small amount of noise from upstairs, but nothing we weren't adequately warned about or prepared for. All in all, a solid spot for a trip to Portland.
