It's a delightful place and Margo is a great host. There were lots of thoughtful touches - Margo left some organic coffee and bread & butter, there were organic toiletries and the towels were clean and fluffy. As is stated, it is a basement and so it's somewhat damp and cold and there's not a lot of daylight. The place and interior deco is somewhat old-fashioned/vintage. It's a lovely place to stay for that authentic Portland vibe, but if you're into modern comforts, it's probably not the right place. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay.
