Pros:
1. Sarah is amazing, understanding and accommodating. We requested a Roku and water filter which was provided to us.
2. Large windows, the place has 4 expansive exterior facing windows so lots of natural light throughout the day and city lights at night. Another plus is that the curtains are blinders so if in day or night you want to goto sleep, the blinders make sure room is absolutely dark.
3. The location is the best there could be, half mile to Washington park outbound and half mile to breweries as well as interesting eating joints downtown and pearl district. Large grocery store is 0.2 mile so you won’t miss having a car in this location at all.
4. The place has more than enough storage space as well as a den. The extra foldable furniture is provided that can be tucked away when not in use.
5. The kitchen is amazing if you cook at home, because it has all the tools one needs to cook properly; from large pots, sauce pans, salad spinner to wine, champagne and martini glasses. + dishwasher
6. Enterprise car rental is next block, so you can rent a car to go visit falls, etc and drop after hours at enterprise so no hassle of finding parking.
7. Suitable for long stays: as you are provided with multiple sets of bedding and towels.
8. Owner has an interesting art collection.
9. Internet connection is very fast.
Cons:
1. Biggest is the floors creak alot which can get under the skin for some people while others get used to ignoring it soon, so if something like that doesn’t bother you then there’s nothing to worry.
2. Metered parking in day and free from 7pm to 9am. If you’re coming in for long stay with car, might be helpful to apply for city parking beforehand.
3. To get to the apartment on 2nd floor, you have to take decent steps and open multiple doors if taking stairs which was a drawback for us as we were moving in for a month and had decent luggage.
All in all, place is a gem along with the people hosting it. Grateful I was able to spend some time in there!
