This house is stunning, with a lot of charm and Bridget and Andre have done an incredible job at making the interior into a welcoming and comfortable home. The neighborhood, Laurelhurst, is the best with plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. It's also a 15 minute walk from the Red Line Max, which gets you to and from the airport super easy, and close to Laurelhurst Park, which is lovely.
During our stay, the yard and basement floor was under construction due to flooding that had happened previously, and the construction continued through our stay. Bridget notified us two days before our arrival, which didn't give us much time to make other arrangements, but Andre was staying in the downstairs apartment to work on the unit throughout the weekend and was very responsive to any questions we had as we settled in. The construction did continue throughout the weekend which created a good amount of noise, and the owner's dogs would bark frequently from the basement when we would enter the home. However, after we requested for the renovation work to wrap up during the evening hours (in our first evening it continued to a little past 7p) and inquired about the dogs (who were understandably confused by the strangers living in their upstairs home), Andre was extremely considerate and accommodating. We didn't have access to the grass lawn as advertised during the construction as I assume the flooding must have done some significant damage to their landscaping, but we had the full range of the main floor interior, which offered plenty of space throughout the weekend and had gorgeous natural lighting throughout the house.
Bridget (who was out of the country) and Becca who was close by as support, were both extremely nice. We got to the space a little early at 2:30p the first afternoon, and were notified that the house wouldn't be ready until 4p as Becca finished getting the space ready. Bridget quickly communicated timing updates and was extremely accommodating, and let us hang out front porch until the house was ready. Her fast responses, especially being far away, were so appreciated!
Again, this house is gorgeous, and it has some sweet quirks as one would fine with older homes. The shower in the main bath is so, so cool, and the key to the front door doesn't turn the way you'd expect it to at first (but it works!). This honestly may have been the neatest house I have ever stayed in, and again we really appreciate both Bridget and Andre for letting us stay!
