This is a lovely, newly renovated space in the basement of the hosts’ historic home. The location is superb for those who, like us, prefer to explore cities on foot, and the park across the street was wonderful for our pooch. A couple of notes: there is a low hanging beam in the unit that my husband(who is 6’3”) had to duck to avoid hitting, (but we had been forewarned by a previous guest, so it was no biggie) and when we first arrived, our hosts were entertaining what seemed to be an entire battalion of toddlers. Their tiny feet stomped on the hardwood floor above our unit, a drum-beat of sorts, which was punctuated by periodic unbridled squeals of delight and the occasional wail of objection. Once our hosts’ teeny guests left, we found the place to be remarkably quiet and cozy. The occasional muffled voice or footstep heard from up above was not offensive in the slightest. We recommend this place to any future visitor to Portland.
