Summary: Here are some things we liked:1) The owner Kim was really sweet and helpful.2) The location was great, walking distance to 13th Ave. with all the cafes and restaurants. Easy access to the river and driving to downtown. 3) The place felt happy, fun, was super creative, definitely not cookie cutter. It was never boring looking at how they decorated. And the unit was pretty large.4) Good hot water and showers. 5) Kitchen well equipped.Things we didn't like so much:1) The owners lived above in this beautiful old house, and we could hear them walking around a lot, probably on wood floors. And in the evening too up to about 10 pm, which was annoying and got old. It was already hard enough living in a basement unit. Maybe they could wear soft slippers and walk more carefully?2) More importantly, there are outside areas on all four sides of the house, and on two of them they have set up work spaces for photography and other things. They were outside often, building "catios" (cat patios, very Portlandia, don't ask!), and they were right outside the windows of the main bedroom, often in the afternoons and early evenings, right when we wanted to be home and relaxing (we are in our 60s and 70s). So... it seems to us that if they are renting their lovely but pricey unit for a few days they might hold off with their outdoor usages and construction projects, or at least consult with the tenants before banging away. Thanx!
