I stayed here at Rose City Restoration for a week and my stay could not have been nice. I met the host Patti and her husband upon my arrival and they welcomed me cheerfully. We talked briefly and they gave me some recommendations for my time in Portland. On my last day, they genuinely asked me how my time was and were again very friendly.

The location is great. One block away from a parking garage and two blocks away from a Target. It is within walking distance of pretty much everything one would want to see in downtown Portland, but still far away enough where I wasn't in the middle of the downtown noise all hours of the day.

The bedroom was very comfortable and homey. I slept wonderfully each night. The bathroom was large, though I did wish the shower itself was a bit bigger, but that's just my personal preference. Patti made sure to show me the towel heater which she described as her guilty pleasure. The third room is a mix between a study and a kitchenette. There's a mini-fridge, toaster and water cooler with a desk, small table and some glasses and cups. While it would've been nice to have an area to cook a meal once or twice, it wasn't bothersome. I bought some food for breakfast and snacks and then ate out exploring places in Portland for my other meals.

Overall, I couldn't have found a better place for what I needed on my travels. An affordable price in a great location with a private residence. It was easy to get in and out. Felt safe at all times. Also, the Trimet stops right outside the place, so it is even a great location for public transportation. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking to stay in downtown.
