I’m a Portland resident but booked Shaun’s place for some visiting family+friends and myself+partner to stay in an air-conditioned place for a few hot nights during my birthday week. Pros: Shaun’s place is in a great location: walking distance to the cool stuff in the Alberta area. AC unit in living room and one of the upstairs bedrooms were wonderful. Large TV with all the platforms. We found the living room couches comfortable.
Cons: Only one room has a place to hang/put clothes (other rooms lack even a hook), kitchen is lacking cookie sheets/baking pans, street noise can be heard from most rooms: my mom had trouble sleeping. Views outside windows are less than desirable: some sort of warehouse building wall(s), front yard is unkept. Outside gate is tricky to open and took us a few tries upon each entry. Brick path leading up to home is a bit loose/uneven. Linens and surfaces were clean upon arrival, but not the floors. Guests in connected lower unit can be heard (also assuming they heard us). Foam pad on upstairs bed sleeps hot.
Okay place to stay if you’re purely interested in being close to Alberta and Mississippi neighborhood and don’t need many amenities.
