Thank you for your lovely feedback Dana! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and the bright, cheerful decor of the apartment. Creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere is something we care deeply about, so it’s great to hear that came through during your stay.
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.

Thank you for your feedback Rebekah. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the space clean and thoughtfully decorated. I also appreciate your kind words about working with me.
I’m sorry the noise from upstairs and the odor issues impacted your stay. As noted in the listing, this is a downstairs unit in a shared 3 story home, but I understand that early morning barking and lingering smells can still be frustrating. We take guest feedback seriously and will address these concerns with the upstairs occupants to help improve the experience for future guests.
Great communication, very clean and quiet daylight basement that was beautifully decorated. Beds were very comfortable! Highly recommend.

Thank you for your feedback Daniel. We appreciate the note about the heating system and will provide additional instructions to improve the guest experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the home overall and hope to host you 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.
very cute, quirky Portland finished basement. tons of space, comfy beds, great kitchen, and generally excellent facilities. communication with host was very responsive. excellent place for a family trip.

Cute basement apartment with unique decor. Close to downtown. It had everything you could need. Art was crazy! Loved the comfortable beds! Sheets were so soft I could stay there way too long!
Beautiful and fun house. Layout was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed! My kids loved taking turns sleeping on the daybed and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. Communication with the property manager was prompt and friendly. We plan on booking again next year for our annual family trip!

Thank you Susan. We appreciate your review and enjoyed hosting you.
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.
