Lovely place to stay
The apartment was perfect for our trip to Portland. Great location/neighborhood. We did not cook much because there are so many delicious restaurants to try in pdx, but the kitchen had all the amenities we would have needed. Parking was never an issue. Since it is a basement/downstairs apartment, some of the doorways are a little low, so if you are a taller person you'd need to watch your head. Otherwise, it was super cozy and that it had 2 bathrooms was exactly what we wanted. Jessy was fantastic with communication and made themselves available if we had needed anything.

Perfect for Two Couples
Great place to stay with two couples. We each had our own side of the unit with a door dividing the areas. We enjoyed the colorful and quirky decor and themed bedrooms. Beds were comfortable. There was a heat wave while we were in town. The home was always cool and was a pleasure to come back to after hiking and being in the sun. We did not need to turn on the a/c even on the days when it was over 100 degrees. We had our friends over for dinner one night. We bbq’ed and enjoyed the private patio with seating for six. Parking was easy and location was perfect for walking to great restaurants nearby. Highly recommend! We will definitely stay here again.

The location was great and the decor was beautiful. There were games and a peaceful back patio area, too. It’s a little dark due to the basement location, but we expected that. It definitely met the needs of all of us (2 couples) during our Portland visit.

Perfect location!
I am a super host and am relatively picky when booking short term rentals. We came to Portland to help our son and his fiancée look for a new apartment as they are relocating to Portland. This property was in the perfect location!! So close to everything we were looking at. The neighborhood had amazing dining options, great coffee options, great quaint nightlife options, great grocery options. Walkability was fantastic! The property itself is an experience versus just a place to sleep. The details in the fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms were so nice. Great water pressure. The beds were comfortable abd decedent linens! It was a nice place to come “home” to at the end of the day to chill and watch a movie. Fun, comfy, funky, convenient and awesome! Thanks for a great stay! 😊

Winter Portland
We stayed in Early December to get to know the area where my son lives. The place was incredible. All we needed and more. We had two beautiful well appointed bathrooms, a full kitchen with all appliances working well and comfortable beds with fluffy pillows and down comforters. We were able to enjoy the wet season and explore all the interesting food spots as well as zip into downtown in minutes. A truly great location if you want the local neighborhood feel.

Such a great place. We really loved it. I have to say that I've never slept so good in a rental property or hotel before. The beds/bedding were so so comfortable. The location was very close to everything. Tons of great food within walking distance. There were quite a few bars too, but we didn't go to any of them. Happy to stay here again whenever we're back in Portland.

A great new find in a terrific neighborhood
We (me, my wife, and two good friends) loved our time at this funky, charmingly decorated underground lair. There are a million cool little touches, like puzzles, games (3D Connect Four), and cheeky artwork. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the main bathroom is large and quite nice. The second bathroom is a convenient bonus, as is on-site laundry. The property managers left out a lot of towels for us, were easy to communicate with, and even let me stay a bit longer on check-out day when it was freakishly hot in Portland. It's easy to forget you are in a basement; natural light does come in through a few high-on-the-wall windows. I would only caution you against staying here if you are: (a) VERY tall, like NBA height; or (b) very sensitive to occasional footstep noise above your heads. We didn't have any problems whatsoever, though, and would gladly stay here again.

Family Visit to Portland w/ Kids
My family was very comfortable at this property because of the bright decor, comfortable furnishings, and friendly layout...lots of little rooms for reading, resting, and lounging. Take note that the property is on the lower level of a duplex, so natural light is limited but that really wasn't an issue because we most of our time in the city. It was easy to bathe our small children, get them fed, and dressed for outings--dinner was easy as well. In summation, I'd highly recommend this property if you have small children and want to keep somewhat of a routine while you're travelling.

Really cool!
Loved the design it was eclectic and fun to look around. Only qualm is I do recommend bringing a jacket because it was very cold in there. The units on the wall did not put out any heat but we were able to find a space heater in the closet. I’m pretty sure the main homes A/C Pumps into the unit (which is in the basement) so we had no control over that temp they have that set to.

Beautiful spot
The suite is amazingly clean, furnishings are new, clean and comfortable. Located in the basement it was great to escape the heat of the day in a great cool spot, each room had AC as well for a comfortable sleep. The backyard is great for hanging out on the patio, bbq available to cook on if you want. The location is perfect to walk to many local breweries and restaurants, a short Uber ride to anywhere just outside of walking distance. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it when staying in Portland.
