The Bluebird guest house is a lovely old home with a cozy front room. However, the one night I stayed in one of two basement rooms I found it to be a little unwelcoming and overpriced. The bed was comfy, but I was constantly awakened by people on the wooden staircase outside of the room. It is also underneath the kitchen, so footsteps were directly overhead from 7:00 until 9:30 a.m. - So much for sleeping in.
There was a toilet on the main floor with very little space to set down toiletry items. I think the showers are upstairs. Breakfast was some pastries and bananas, coffee, tea… it wan't much and I can't say the presentation was anything to write home about.
The host was polite when I spoke to her, but my overall experience paled in comparison to most other B&Bs I have visited. I will likely stay somewhere else next time I visit Portland.
