Great place to stay, very nice and quite neighborhood. Minimal noise but as it's a basement apartment, can hear a bit of host house upstairs(was not an issue for me). Nice natural light in space even on a rainy day. Space is nicely designed and clean. Few blocks walk to bus stops/Biketown hub and about a mile to nearest shopping/resturants/grocery and train line(Hollywood MAX red line). Public transit is easy, efficient and cheap in pdx.
Private entrance at backyard. You do have to go down a flight of stairs. All the basics were provided including coffee. Enjoyed the french press, heated bathroom floor, some vinyl records, Portland reading material and comfortable bed. Nice quite place to come back to. Juliette was a great host!!
