What a great place for our long stay in Portland! My partner and I were able to cowork comfortably for an entire week- wifi worked great and totally quiet for conference calls, etc. You will occasionally hear the pitter patter of puppy feet on the floor above, but especially for a basement unit it was quiet and super private. There is a staircase to descend into the unit, and the door at the top lets in plentiful light. There is also accent lighting in the basement that mimics daylight, so I found it super helpful to turn that on while working inside for a large chunk of the day. That, in addition to thoughtful touches like Portland-centric art and reading materials, gave us a head start on exploring the city before we even ventured out.
Parking was always a breeze, with an available street space right across from the house every. single. time. we pulled in, regardless of time of day. The kitchen is fantastic and has so many handy amenities, like a toaster oven, recycling options, and plentiful cooking supplies (although with the amazing restaurant options in the neighborhood, we didn’t do much cooking). It was such a treat to pull out the expandable couch and put our feet up after a long day of hiking. Furthermore, our host was so welcoming and communicative and even shared some fruit grown from the trees on the property.
This basement unit is adorable and I could gush about it all day, but I hope you will go see for yourself. Save your time and book now… we can’t wait to stay next time we visit!
