Great place to stay! I went by myself and felt it a safe and area to walk around, go out for eating and explore. The rooms are very comfortable. You do not see the hosts, but they are very available to communicate by email or phone. I had a chance to meet him in person and he is sooo kind, gave me good suggestions for eating and see around there. It is definetely a place that I will go back when I go to Portland!

This is a hostel. Not an inn.

Breakfast is not included. I put this first cause you don’t even get a cup of coffee. This is more of a glorified hostel attached to a pretty house. It is not an “Inn.” The breakfast was literally Cheerios and corn flakes. The room was hot but there was a portable A/C so plus. Old furnishings and tough bed. Bathroom was great. Location was great. Parking was easy. One bummer — the kitchen is on the top floor and when I went into it, sat a shirtless older senior gentleman eating. It was not something I wanted to deal with after a long day. But he was shirtless because the kitchen was also hot. I checked out early because I couldn’t sleep. I want to support local small businesses so I stayed here. I have stayed in many inns. This just wasn’t one. It’s a hostel.

Very difficult parking if you are bringing a car. We often had to walk 4 blocks to the hotel. It's run like a hotel so it is a bit run down and you will share a restroom. Nice hosts and a great location.

Some may not like the small size of the room, but it was just what I needed: a place to store my things and a bed to come home to at the end of the day. The rooms and bathrooms are neat and clean, and there's a shared eating area stocked with some light breakfast options to energize with before heading out.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect place for someone new to the area. Our host gave excellent direction for all details, including parking (which could be extremely daunting without their expertise), places to visit, and house rules. The space was lovely, situated in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of food and shopping options nearby. And the bed was absolutely fantastic. It was perfectly comfortable after a busy day of hiking and taking in the sights!
