Erin was an exceptional host with impeccable taste, attention to detail, and great communication. Everything was as pictured or better. I wasn’t entirely sure how much daylight we could expect bc it’s a basement apartment but it is flooded with natural light. The blinds offered great privacy but also let the light through. Don’t worry; you’ll have very effective blackout curtains in the larger room for the night. For those concerned about the noise mentioned from upstairs; I am a very light sleeper but got the best night’s sleep in a very long time so either the noise at night was so minimal it didn’t wake me (I also hit the hay early) or it didn’t exist in the eve. There’s a very helpful binder with tips and info which was a great touch. Erin was also extremely knowledgeable of the area and gave us great suggestions. Her place is absolutely quaint, clean, and comfortable with all the amenities we could hope for (including the espresso options). The toiletries provided made my skin and hair feel great. The towels were likely the softest I’ve ever felt but still very absorbent. The pillows were heavenly. It is perfectly situated in the Hawthorne district which was ideal for our first Portland stay. There was clearly so much thought put into this charming place. I wasn’t ready to leave and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it also.
