On a recent trip to Portland for a meeting and a weekend getaway, we were fortunate to find this little hidden gem in the Mt. Tabor district. The space is located in the huge basement of a huge circa 1920 home and is about the size of a one-car garage plus. The benefits were many: an up to date private bathroom with a lovely (and huge) shower, fluffy white towels in abundance, a larger than average dorm-sized fridge/freezer, microwave, k-cup coffee maker, a decent sized TV with many channel choices, a comfy full-sized bed, cups and dishes, snacks, and a small heater (which was nice, as the room was slightly chilly when we arrived). The only downsides (which really are not negatives, just things to be aware of) are the sizable staircase to climb in order to get to the house (check out the photos), the steep old fashioned stairs to get from the basement door into the basement itself, and the enthusiastically barky dogs upstairs that only bark when they owner's aren't home. Pretty much everything is made better by the more than reasonable cost of the accommodation, the location (which, though in a quiet and charming residential area, is very convenient to many nearby destinations), and the pleasant hosts, who were very good with communication and a pleasure to briefly chat/text with. On-street parking was easy, too. If you're heading to Portland anytime soon, check out this cozy hideaway. I expect it will suit your needs as well as it suited ours!
