The host was very communicative and accommodating. She provided several suggestions and transportation options prior to arrival. She also allowed for one hour later checkout which was helpful. The apartment is a tech lovers dream- there is a Google home and QR codes everywhere. It was relatively clean and had all the necessities. We didn't have basic items like toilet tissue, trash bags, etc. upon arrival and had to find them ourselves, but were told this was due to the cleaning company and not the host. The apartment lacks natural light but has plenty of lighting/lamps inside that keeps it pretty bright. It is a basement unit, so you do hear noise from the house tenants and it felt like they were right above us. The windows are also street level, and these two factors combined limited our sense of privacy in the space. The location is probably really accessible to the rest of Portland if you have a car, but we were on foot & taking public transportation wasn't as close as the listing made it seem. Additionally, this apartment is right on the border of a nicer residential neighborhood that is really beautiful (historic Irvington) and a more industrial, less safe-feeling area. I wish I had known more about all of these factors before booking the place, but overall, this apartment met our needs.
