Mark and his team put together a great space in an amazing location. They made sure to highlight the great amenities in their pictures, but failed to tell you that it was and still is essential is a basement. The flooring is made up that material you have in your garage, but in this case it was covered (somewhat) with rugs.

Being a basement, you can hear EVERYTHING going on upstairs in Marks living area and I'm surprised more stayers didnt complain about this. On the last night of my stay, Mark decided to throw a party of some sort. There were people moving around, chairs and tables being knocked around. All these noises were so incredibly loud and done violently, that i felt like the ceiling was going to collapse at any second. Mark mentions that there is a 9PM "quiet time", but his party lasted till 12:30AM.... I was not comfortable going up and talking to him and telling him I had a flight early in the morning and needed some sleep, but did text the manager of the airbnb who responded promptly and gave me some of my money back. This does not change the fact that my last night stay in Portland (a great city which i fell in love with) was so excruciatingly awful. Next time you host a party, please make sure you do not have someone sleeping in your basement
