This AB&B is in the NW part of Portland and very close to boutiques, good restaurants, and grocery stores. It is near beautiful Forest Park with plenty of hiking trails which we enjoyed.

We stayed for a month and although small (a bathroom, bedroom and kitchen), the place had a nice size kitchen and a full-size refrigerator which we appreciated.

After the first few nights, we could not sleep on the lumpy/broken mattress. We showed the host the mattress, he agreed to buy a new one.

I believe there is a safety issue with this listing. Homeless come onto the property throughout the day and night to dig through the dumpsters which are next the unit’s front door. The homeless create a mess and some are agitated with mental or drug issues. Towards the end of our stay, one aggressive individual went around trying the doors to the apartments and the basement laundry room. I brought homeless issues to the host’s attention and they were quite complacent about it saying it had been happening for years and was not a problem. I believe having homeless roam the property checking for unlocked doors is a problem. One way of dealing with this issue could be by installing gates at the entrances so only residents and quests have access to the property.
