Tom's place is in an amazing location! A literal 2 minute to the #4 bus stop that goes directly to the city every 15 minutes (much easier if you get a hop pass from Plaid Pantry, a 10 minute walk away), and a 10 minute walk to the Yellow Line Max. Also it is a 2 minute walk from Mississippi Street and Alberta Street which offer many choices for food, drinks, and shopping.
The apartment itself was SO clean and comfortable! Especially for our trip as it was an escape from the heat, keeping cool during the day. The bed was super comfy and the neighbourhood was very quiet so a good nights sleep was inevitable. Tom provided us with so many little touches that really set his Air BnB above the rest; keypad private entry, accessible laundry, local guides, power extensions in both nightstands, hairdryer, fridge AND freezer, microwave, corkscrew, silverware, tea and coffee machine, etc. The small things really make a difference. In addition, Tom has provided guests with Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon video which was appreciated after long days in the city. The only thing that I can think to mention that could be problematic, is if you are taller than about 5'6", you may find the beautiful clawfoot tub/shower a bit cramped. My partner and I are short so it wasn't an issue!
Another note to add, Tom is super LGBTQ+ friendly (like most are in Portland, but it's also worth noting).
We travel a lot, and Tom was chill, seriously.
We recommend this property to anyone travelling to Portland, and we would definitely stay here again!
