We have stayed in several different AirBnB refurbished basements in this part of Portland and this is one of our favorites. Things we like:
* very good lighting!
* but also good light isolation so that our sleep isn't interrupted by morning light
* nice books, brochures & info available about where to go, what to see & do, etc.
* as with most basement apartments, noise from the main part of the house is a potential problem; there was a little walking noise but not enough to be bothersome AND the hosts supplied disposable earplugs for those who are sensitive to noise... this is an AirBnB first for me! well done guys!
* location is perfect for us; close to MAX, good restaurants, and my wife's favorite bourbon bar "The Old Gold"
Would have no hesitation about staying here again.
Thanks!
