The hose: Mia was a bit busy that weekend, but I had a chance to meet her when we were checking in and getting settled. Whenever I had a question, she was really responsive. She had left us some fresh eggs that I sadly didn't have a chance to eat. I have never had fresh eggs before. :(
The space: Mia's place was pretty much what the picture showed; a well decorated cozy space with everything we needed. We were there for a cold and rainy weekend and we were able to stay warm and comfortable. I thought it would be cold because of the concrete floors, but it worked out fine. The bathroom also had a heater. She has an open space bathroom with a small curtain blocking the shower from the toilet area (to prevent having a wet toilet seat). I only wished that the curtain circled around the shower area so that my feet wouldn't get wet when I would go use the sink. There was a cute kitchenette that we used to make tea. I really enjoyed her space and I have already recommended it to my in-laws who would appreciate everything about it.
Location: I chose this location because it wasn't too difficult to get to after the airport. We didn't have to walk too far with all our luggage after our bus stop. Since I knew getting coffee into our system bright and early was a must, I wanted to be around my top breakfast destinations. From here I could walk to Pine State Biscuts (2 min), Off the Waffle, Broder (15 min walk), Screen Door (30 min walk). We also ended up eating at Pok Pok and Happa PDX which was also a 15 min walk. The South East side of Portland has a TON of places to eat and bars/breweries to go to. And to get to down town it was only a 15-20 min bus ride.
Overall: great place & great location. I loved our privacy and the place was super comfortable as well very accessible to everywhere I wanted to go using public transportation. I had a newborn baby with us and these where important factors for our trip.
