I used to live in Portland, and when work brought me back to town for a week, I k row I did t want to stay in a hotel. This space was perfect for a single traveler. Cold beverages in the fridge when I arrived was what I needed after a day of traveling. Having a kitchen made it easy for me to prepare my lunch every day and eat a bit more healthier (which is a struggle when traveling for work).
The decor was lovely - not overwhelming, and struck the right balance to give the space a cozy feel. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic!! Strong WiFi and plenty of outlets to charge all of my devices overnight. The bed was superb and I got a good night’s sleep each night. (I also think Helen and Ethan arranged for perfect weather just for me!)
Even though I didn’t need directions or recommendations for things to do since I loved previously in PDX, the guest binder contained tons of suggestions for first timers to the area. Loved having coffee/tea available (even though I didn’t have any).
I had limited interaction with Helen and Ethan due to my schedule, but our paths did cross and during those times, the conversation was easy and relaxed. I also had the privilege of meeting the security cat, who watched over me as I waited for a ride to meet friends later in the evening.
I will definitely recommend this place to my friends for when they travel to Portland, and should my travels be bringing me back, this will be the first place I look to see if it’s available.
Thanks!
