We really enjoyed our stay. When you pull up to the address, you can’t see the house because of the privacy fence. Don’t let the fence put you off. While we were staying there, we were happy to have it. It gives you a feeling of privacy that you won’t get in other houses in the neighborhood. It was great to be in such a walkable location but still feel privacy when we were in the rental home.
The house is old, and has the cute, quirkiness of an older home. Shaun has done a nice job updating it. It was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. In fact, every guest in every room commented on the amazing beds. We experienced a couple of issues with the house while we were there, which are not unexpected being that it’s an older home, but Shaun is a wonderful host who responded immediately and corrected the issues right away.
The layout of the house worked well for our group. It is worth noting that there is no bathroom on the main floor, so getting to the bathroom requires going upstairs to the second floor or downstairs to the basement. Also, it’s an older house so the stairs are not evenly spaced. This could be difficult if you have a guest in your group who isn’t good with stairs.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to others who are looking to explore Portland and specifically the Alberta Arts District.
