I had a nice stay at Elsa’s Airbnb while in Portland. My favorite thing about staying here was the close access to the bus line. I was able to easily get to where I needed to.
I appreciated having access to a washer and dryer and the room was so close to it and to the restroom. I did have to be more mindful of planning time for showers bc of the other guests but it worked out. I was also able to utilize the downstairs powder room which was nice.
The room I stayed in had a very comfortable bed, and I was so appreciative of the AC unit that was installed - so great after being out in the hot day. The window faces the neighbors window and there are no blinds so I tried to cover the window while keeping the AC unit on at night or while changing so the neighbors couldn’t see. There were a couple of times when they were able to see into my room and I could see into theirs. Kinda awkward. I wish there were blinds for more privacy.
My room was right next to the restroom and laundry - so very convenient. Keep in mind there may be at least two other guests staying in the other two rooms so you will have to be mindful of sharing the one restroom and laundry in addition to the other shared spaces. I met the other guests who were nice and kept to themselves as well. As a solo female traveler I felt safe during my stay.
The house was very nice, clean and spacious. I liked that there was a designated space in the fridge for your food/leftovers. There was also a “community” section of fridge with free drinks and snacks, again so convenient!
I do wish I had access to additional towels and washcloths. I had to purchase extra ones to use.
Elsa also provided me with so many good recommendations and it was so helpful. I did try some of the places and they were so good!
I’d definitely stay here again.
