I don't travel much; I had never used a b&b; and I figured that most of them would not work for me as I need lots of privacy and quiet. Charles's description of his apartment is spot-on. It was super quiet, private, and spotlessly clean. Nice wood scent outside and in. I guess it was extra quiet for me since Charles was out of town the first 5 or 6 days—though there was another person living above the apartment the whole time. I did interact w/ Charles a little out back and he's a great guy: good sense of humor, respectful, and very attentive to the needs of the occupant. The location is great! Near buses and amazing eateries. Guero Mexican on NE 28th near Burnside!
You simply can't go wrong here. It was a good value for what I paid; the mattress is perhaps the best I've slept on; the shower is luxurious and amazing... Oh, the place just seemed to magically stay at the perfect temperature even when it was 99 degrees outside. I couldn't feel where the A/C comes out or anything; it just was always the perfect temp. And I'm very sensitive. Along w/ the cleanliness, it's uncluttered. There's plenty of space to spread your stuff out next to the bed. Full marks. You'll be happy here. The keyless entry is so convenient, too. Five Stars.
