The location is great. I have taken the bus various times, and there are two bus stops super close by. Alberta park is about a mile walk away, and there are various food trucks, coffee shops, plants shop etc, nearby. I really enjoyed living walking distance from the Alberta Co-op grocery and a Book Pub (super cute).
My room was upstairs. I loved the view of the sunset in that room, the bed, and the desk and closet space. However, I will say, during the summer that room is VERY hot, and the blinds do not keep out much sunlight, so I would recommend at least curtains and more fans in the room and house, if not A.C., to the host (the host did buy two fans when I mentioned this to her), and I recommend booking that particular room in the fall to guests. Once it cooled down, I didn't have any complaints about that room.
Overall, I would recommend this place for a couple months stay. I got to meet various interesting, kind people and it's a great location for someone new to Oregon. The house needs some updating and organization with cleaning. Also, it would have been nice to know there were 11 rooms (and therefore potential roommates) before getting there. It stayed very quiet though, even with that many people, and I didn't have any problems with roommates. It's been nice meeting people. I also appreciate Teresa working with me when I needed to extend last minute.
