Lena’s place hit all expectations and more. Upon arrival, I was impressed by how clean it was starting all the way from the entrance. The place was definitely cozy and plenty of space for me and my pooch. It was well organized and decorated. I was able to find everything I needed. I appreciated the welcome note and wine. I set my things down and immediately felt comfortable. I had an initial problem connecting to the wifi and Lena promptly replied to me and got me connected without a problem. She is great with communication before, during, and after. I spent most of my time out exploring Portland as it was my first time there. The recommendation guide was really helpful, but I encourage guests to follow up with businesses directly during this time of covid. The location was just perfect for me. My type of food options (Asian) were within 5 minutes driving. SE Division isn’t far either (10 minutes) for my late night cravings of Salt & Straw. Don’t bring any back though because there’s not enough space in the freezer portion of the mini fridge to store it (but why not just eat it all right away?). The neighborhood is really friendly and safe. People said hi to me when I took the pooch for a walk. Mt Tabor park is really close by and has a great off leash area.
I was grateful for the tv when I did stay in those frigid nights I was there. The heater worked well to heat up the whole place comfortably enough. The washer/dryer in unit was definitely helpful. Having morning coffee (coffee beans provided) was clutch; tea also if you’re into that. The bed was really comfortable. I was tempted to stay longer since it was available but I had to head home. Check out was super simple as well and she was flexible with me. Price point also worked for me. There’s probably more positives but you can tell I had a great stay and would definitely come back there if it was available. Thanks Lena&Seth!
