Kristin's place is a delightful place located up top Portland near Council Crest Park. A short drive to downtown, Washington Park and all of Portland's sites. We enjoyed the hot tub, making smores in the fire pit and just relaxing. Kristin is an amazing communicator, responding quickly to every message or text and sending a great welcome packet with information and directions. We were traveling with kids and Kristin set up an air mattress for the kids and provided extra towels making it a very welcoming space for our family. As some reviews have said, there is some noise that comes down to the basement apartment from the upstairs occasionally, mainly people walking and pipes draining water when the toilet flushes upstairs but only during normal waking hours. We brought a sound machine as some reviews suggested if one is a light sleeper and slept very well! The unit has a washer and dryer which is great for doing laundry if you're staying a little longer. It is only a kitchenette with an oversized toaster oven, microwave, dishwasher and mini-fridge/freezer. No cook top stove but Kristin left me a cookbook that was specifically filled with recipes for the toaster oven. Overall, a great stay! We look forward to staying again.
