East end. Walk to food, beer and downtown fun.

Please enjoy my accurate description so that you know what to expect. This place is perfect to arrive to Portland, dump your luggage off, go out and enjoy the city, come back to a cozy clean bed. Not intended to sit around and pretend you are at home. Marriot members will not be satisfied. Street parking only and it is free.

This a unique historic Portland tenant building from 1886. It is perfectly not perfect. The floors are wide pine and creek a bit and feel slightly uneven. The bedrooms are basic sized large enough for a bed and a few tables. The beds are new Nectar foam mattresses and the linens are brand new. Light quilt blankets for the summer and down comforters for the fall/winter are provided. Bedroom windows have darkening shades and a wall mounted heater for cold nights and fans for warm nights. Guests often remark at how quiet it is at night for being in the middle of the city the second floor. The tenants upstairs don't make much noise.

The AC will keep most or the place cool on average summer days and struggle on rare 100 degree days. I provide 4 table and window fans as well.

The kitchen has everything you need for basic cooking however, with so much great food in Portland no on ever cooks. The toaster oven is a healthier way of heating food and I will never advocate for microwaves nor own one. The slice toaster is available too along with pots and pans and utensils. Ninja coffee maker with coffee and sugar is available. Spices, salt and pepper, cooking spray and oil are provided.

Bathroom is renovated with a BathFitter tub, flooring, ceiling, sink and fresh paint. There are liquid soaps are included. The water will take a few minutes to get hot and the water pressure is average.

There is a semi private room with a desk if you have calls to make or need to do some work. There is no door to shut hence "semi private".

The spare room behind the kitchen is used as a utility closet and rear egress. Not intended to be used for guests however please use for emergencies.

The sidewalk can get icey in the winter. There will be salt and sand by the front door. I ask all tenants to make it safe for others and feel free to toss some out.

I'm sure I'll miss something however, I know you will enjoy your stay and the city and I always very responsive if guests need anything. Enjoy!!!

If you need the sofa bed please slip the cover off and fold the bed out. Retract it back when not in use.

Please leave the sheet on the bed and the cleaner will take care of everything.

The hot water will take a while to flow as the building uses an on demand system.
