Very well equipped and comfortable studio unit. Only drawback was the lack of natural light because you really are in a basement, but the studio itself was replete with both overhead and non overhead lighting, so it did not feel that dark. For those who like to sleep in darkness, absolutely perfect place, as you are also shielded from street noise and I didn't notice any noise from upstairs either. Another plus is the access to the washer and dryer on the same level as the room which was really wonderful.
Upstairs access to the backyard was handy for my dog, as was the park around the corner. The house is within easy walking distance to supermarkets and other conveniences. Jason and Forbin were most hospitable to us when we met them in the park and Jason responded promptly by text to inquiries. Would recommend Jason's place as a very pleasant and convenient place to stay in Portland. Really glad we found it!
