The location was great, and the inside was nicely decorated and clean. We were warned there were people above us, but the barking dog that woke us up each morning and the very frequent marajana smell lofting from the vents above was unfortunate. Jesse was great to work with, but I would not stay here again.

It was a beautiful, clean home to stay during our visit to Portland! The home set up was very cozy, comfortable. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room all set up well, we were lacking for nothing! The home was in a nice neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Location was perfect, close to grocery stores, restaurants, downtown sites. For those attending an event at Moda Center, this location is ideal and short drive away. Our host was on top of things with communications that provided us with all the information we needed to answer whatever questions we might have had. Thank you Jessy! If we are ever in Portland again, we'd love to stay again.

Sisters trip
We had a great time in this spacious apartment. The two bedrooms have their own separate wings as well as separate bathrooms, so it’s almost like having the space to yourself through the night. There were endless walkable, coffee, shops, breakfast places, restaurants for all kinds of pallets. So much shopping we just didn’t leave the Belmont Hawthorne division area. The movie rooms is the coziest place to watch a movie. Have fun!

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.
