Though it is a basement apartment, you would hardly know it (see below excerpts from AirBnB reviews when the space was used as a short-term rental).
“Beautiful, well-thought out and quite artsy apartment that hosts have put together. Extremely clean, spacious, the fact that it’s a semi-basement doesn’t affect the lighting at all. Clean, comfortable and the location is convenient to good restaurants, etc...”
“…home is located in a really cute and lively part of town not so far from the city itself. The space was very clean and felt like home! I was worried that because this is a basement space, it would feel cramped and a little claustrophobic. That wasn’t the case at all! They have a lot of windows and the bedroom is at a really nice angle that allows the sun come through in the morning.”
“The location was stellar, and the coffee shop at nearby Powell's opened super-early. Lots of nearby restaurants. I was a bit skeptical going in as this is clearly described as a basement apartment, but there are bright windows and it didn't feel at all like a basement.”
“…place is incredibly spacious, relaxing and a conveniently located in a vibrant and diverse neighborhood. We had a great time exploring the restaurants and shops in the area, and other neighborhoods were also a stone's throw away. A great base to explore Portland!”
