Great location - quiet neighbourhood but only a short walk away from lots of restaurants and food trucks. In fact, we walked into the city centre and it took less than an hour.
The apartment is in the basement and is nice and cozy. There is a bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room too. WIFI is good. There was a folder with instructions on how to use various things in the apartment. Consumables were well provided, shower gel, towels coffee etc. There is a washer and a dryer in the adjoining part of the basement which is shared with the family. The TV channel options were limited and the TV itself was very small for this day and age. Although this wasn't really a big issue for us as we were out most of the time, it would have been nice to have some decent TV.
Check in was easy - we were sent a code to open the door and let ourselves in. I think the family respected our privacy and wanted privacy themselves so we didn't make contact with them during our stay - which was fine by us! One thing we did find a little strange was that at the top of the stairs down to the basement there is a door with a window into the family's kitchen and on a couple of times we saw them in there. They didn't seem to want to say hi (which I totally understand) just seemed a bit odd to have to ignore each other - maybe a curtain or a one way sheet of window film would be in order.
Parking is no problem, there is ample space in the street and there is a parking place by the side of the house.
Overall, would recommend this place for a stay in Portland.
