Spacious Central Beautiful Apt: 4 Bedrooms, 5 Beds & 2 free parking.

The unit is family friendly, clean and despite a few things overall met our family’s needs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful when needed. The unit is located in the homeless portion of town. For the most part we felt safe, but there were a few times we felt uneasy. The unit contains 2 sets of steep narrow stairs, one upon entering the unit and the other inside to access the second floor, making it difficult to carry your heavy luggage. Luckily we had some strong family members to assist. Some areas of the wooden floors are uneven and have a raised trim between the rooms/doorways which we found ourselves tripping on. We found it very difficult to regulate the heat/temperature throughout the house and had to open windows or run the window a/c units to cool it down. Lastly a smoke detector was missing in one of the rooms. We probably wouldn’t have noticed had the alarms not gone off due to a battery issue in another alarm. The Hosts were extremely helpful in correcting this problem.

The apartment was perfect for us (3 couples). It is well-located with lots of walking access to provisions, a park, the waterfront and restaurants/bars. The pictures represent the apartment well. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We didn't cook, but the kitchen has the basics - and multiple coffee-making options. The 3 (adult) bedrooms are about the same, so there's not a master suite for one couple and a kid's room for another. We had a minor issue with the door lock and the host was there immediately to fix the problem. Great communication concerning arrival, parking, etc.

Joel and Lydia are fantastic hosts!

Kitchen was well-stocked, we had everything we needed. Joel and Lydia timely communicated to us the seamless check in process and let us know they were there to assist if we needed anything but otherwise were out of the way!Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay! The showers, floors, beds, and kitchen were all extremely clean. Very pleased with everything. The stairs were a little steep & narrow, so maybe not a good option for people with bad joints, but all of us 20/30-something year-old’s really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were extremely quick on communication and very friendly. We got to meet Joel one of the days walking out and he was so kind. Happy to have stayed here.

The apartment was great!

The house is in great condition and is decorated nicely. Joel is kind and really accommodating. It is super close to some fun, trendy spots but I would suggest keeping a buddy system if you’re walking along the street at night (similar to any city). It’s a great spot for big groups!

We enjoyed staying here. The hosts were extremely nice and the property had everything we were looking for. Location is right on the edge of downtown Portland. Shops and most restaurants are just a short walk. We would stay here again!

Our group of five (~55-65-year-olds) truly had a great getaway at Lydia and Joel’s apartment and they were excellent hosts. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, while the living areas were perfect for gathering for morning coffee and regrouping after shopping, sightseeing, socializing, lunching/brunching, and dinners out. We were an easy walk to the MANY area restaurants, shopping, Portland Museum of Art (free 3rd Thurs), happy hours, and bowling. We would stay here again!
