Tulsi's place is located in a nice neighborhood, lined with pleasant trees and cute houses. Nearby is an independent coffee shop, and a whole foods for groceries. The place itself is underneath the main house (basement apartment), accessible via an entrance on the side following steps downward. There's some noise from upstairs, but wasn't a problem at all for me or my friend, although we were in the apartment almost exclusively during bedtime. The place is decorated in a cozy but minimalist style common to airbnbs (lots of Banksy paintings). It's a cozy size without much natural lighting, but the perfect launching point for exploring Portland at a reasonable price, and near some interesting places to walk to and check out.
