We rented Emidio’s place for my mother who was visiting Portland for a week. She enjoyed her stay and said the bed was extremely comfortable. There are about 5 steps down into the basement apartment but the railing is very sturdy. Incredibly easy check in and check out. The apartment is VERY clean. Although it is a basement there are many windows so it doesn’t feel too dark. You can hear a slight bit of noise from walking around upstairs but it didn’t bother her or interrupt her sleep. Great value for the price and I would recommend to anyone who needed “overflow” guest accommodations like we did.
