Good location from which to explore southwest Portland, walkable neighborhood and easy access to city. Elie is a gracious host and our son enjoyed meeting Neo, the dog. Efforts have been made to reduce noise, but you will hear some sound above, in this basement unit. Probably a non-issue to most. The kitchen was adequately equipped and we cooked most nights of our 1 week stay. We notified Elie of a broken toaster and a failed light bulb, which he quickly replaced, even though it was more of an fyi from us. Thank you!
