This bed-sit was a very nice accommodation. It was very clean with a modest and new kitchen setup, and although it was a basement suite it wasn't too oppressive. You do have to come in through the back door of the house and pass by the owners' kitchen, but it didn't feel like you were imposing. The location is in a lovely neighbourhood of very well kept houses and gardens which are a pleasure to look at and admire. The owners' were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed sitting in their small private back garden. Because it is located 10 minutes plus from downtown by transit, it was very affordable especially compared to the very expensive prices of downtown hotels. Request a good set of instructions to get to this nice airbnb. We would recommend Bay and Mike's to anyone going to Portland, and we have already.
