As a remote worker, I stayed here for a week to get a feel for what it might be like to live in PDX. I had a great time and feel the pros definitely outweighed the cons. There are still a few kinks for mgmt to work through but I’d still emphatically recommend this place. It might prove best for solo travelers, perhaps a couple.
Pros:
1.) The neighborhood is walkable with tons of stuff to do, see, eat, and buy.
2.) At ≈$90/night, the rate’s among the most reasonable for the trendy neighborhood.
3.) The unit has been very tastefully designed. Total hotel vibes - but homier, and IG ready.
4.) The bed was super comfortable. I had to peek at the mattress to see if I could order one for myself.
5.) The unit’s cleanliness subdued any fears I had about traveling during a pandemic. It definitely felt like it had gone through an “enhanced cleaning process.”
Cons:
1.) The unit gets pretty cold. There was only one blanket and the portable heater didn’t quite cut it. Bring sweats!
2.) The stairs/handrails up to the unit did not inspire confidence, especially with luggage in hand. Tread carefully.
3.) The wifi was sooo week, likely b/c the router was being kept in a different unit.
4.) There’s nowhere to put your luggage. No closet, no dressers, no luggage rack, just a single nightstand.
5.) Construction in the next door units got hella noisy. It started as early as 7am and ended as late as 7pm.
