We enjoyed the bright and playfully clean colors combined with the minimal decor. We found it inspirational. It felt homey and comfortable but practical and functional. Very Zen and calming to the mind.
Despite being a basement, there are windows throughout the apartment which allow outside lighting in. Inside the apartment, the lighting fixtures are extremely high quality. I really appreciated the well placed recessed lighting throughout the apartment which provided even bright lighting that is fully dimmable. The color temperature of the light bulbs are perfect. It feels like a bright sunny day.
The bed is cozy and it has a thick and warm duvet, which was lovely to have since it was Very cold and snowy during our stay in Portland.
The full kitchen was also very nice to have available. Stephani provided a few breakfast essentials: coffee and tea; and this was much appreciated.
The last evening there we realized we'd be out pretty late watching the new Star Wars movie at the Baghdad theatre (much recommended btw) and so we requested a later check out since we suck at early mornings. Thankfully Stephani was very kindly able to accommodate our request, for which we are very grateful
All and all an excellent place to stay in Portland!
