We loved this place. Ryan and his family were very friendly and accommodating and responsive while also giving us space and privacy. The place was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. They gave us lots of great ideas for things to do in the area and even brought down extra toys for our young daughter. It is a basement apartment, but it is soundproofed, so the limited amount of walking we could hear above was not disturbing at all. They mentioned the possibility of their dog barking, but the only time we ever heard that was when she was in the yard as we arrived. Again, not disturbing at all to us. The ceilings are low so if you’re tall (over 6 feet) that may be an issue. The neighborhood is quiet and residential and we had no trouble finding parking on the street, 95% of the time right outside our door. We didn’t find a lot to walk to other than a park but there’s a ton of restaurants, parks, shopping, etc. within a few minutes’ drive. We chose this place thinking it would be a comfy and convenient place to sleep, but in fact it was so comfy that we were happy to spend our downtime just lounging around. When we come back to Portland, we’ll be staying here again if we can!!
