My mom, her two dogs, and I had a great stay at Jeff's place. Though a basement space, the area is light and fun. The yard is great with plenty of space for the dogs to explore, a nice sitting area, and a lovely twinkle light tree. I wish the weather would have been more cooperative for us to enjoy this space.
Jeff was dog sitting, so had three dogs at his home...his two dogs Micky and Kona, plus Roxie who he was caring for. All three dogs were good with moms dogs. If we texted or called Jeff prior to returning to his place from our Portland adventures, he would make certain the dogs were inside so moms dogs would have the yard all to themselves. All the dogs would bark at one another as dogs do, but they got along just fine.
As expected with a basement area, one can hear activity overhead. That being said, the space was quiet, comfortable, cozy, warm, and perfect for us. Mom and I found the bed a little harder than what we prefer, but that is just due to our preferences.
The kitchen space is nice. Jeff provides glass water bottles and a water purifier so drinking water is always readily available. In the bathroom, shampoo, soap, and a hairdryer are available, along with make-up remover, lotion and other amenities. The shower was very comfortable. As Jeff mentions, the shower is in an old tub, so one has to climb over the tub lip to get in and out. This was not an issue for me, but was for my mom who has a bad knee and couldn't get her leg high enough. She happily bent over the tub to wash her hair and did sponge baths during our short stay.
Mom and I recommend Jeff's place for your stay in Portland. It is located in a nice area close to some nice restaurants and historical areas.
