Tyrin was a wonderful host for my guest and I's one week stay at his Airbnb downtown :)
Location: Situated right next to several public transit terminals (bus/tram) and many other amenities. There were also several parking garaged or metered parking areas for those with a vehicle. Ground level apartment that requires a key for entrance into main building (provided upon check-in).
Check-In: Seamless! Tyrin has an exceptional check-in process and was very attentive. He is very responsive and made the check-in process so easy. Zero complaints.
Cleanliness and Amenities: The Airbnb itself was cleaned and well maintained, Tyrin also allowed us to drop off our luggage a few hours prior to check-in time at an agreed time which was helpful. Tyrin's place had all the standard amenities such as shampoo, soap, towels, utensils, cooking ware, etc. The refrigerator, stove, oven, toilet, shower, and sink were all clean and working properly. Another great feature of this place was that it had a ton of storage space -- there were many accessible closets, drawers, and cabinets.
* the toilet is quite load when you flush
Noise: You are able to hear the bus/tram drive by and the horn from the tram on occasion. Since it is situated near downtown, expect some level of noise whether it be from the transit, people outside, or cars driving by. This Airbnb was at ground level also and the floorboards do creak when walking in certain areas so you may hear that throughout your stay, do keep this in mind. Overall though, I seldom heard the neighbors and everyone around the area was pleasant. :)
Overall, I would definitely recommend staying with Tyrin if you are looking to venture out into Portland. This was my second time visiting Portland and I was very pleased with the quality of his Airbnb for the cost! The location was great and allowed me to take the public transit to so many areas!! Washington Park, Providence Park, art museum, and a ton more. Tyrin responds very quickly and is attentive the needs of his guests. I would happily stay at his Airbnb again and highly recommend this location as well!
