Unity Conference
I was comfortable with check in....i like contactless check ins. The place appeared to be as listed; however, as a temporary tenant you do not have access to the a/c. It is controlled by the host and at his disposal...it was stuffy at times and didnt get much sleep the entire stay. The mattress wasnt comfortable for my experience, but everyone likes different types of firmness. There is no oven here...one was listed...a toaster oven is available for use but there isnt much counter space for it at all. Not sure whats with the internet...it doesnt have capabilities as listed. .i was using a cell phone and just the tv and i couldnt do anything on the internet on my laptop and tv signal was very laggy for the entire 6 day stay. The entire place was very clean except the rug...which was covered with dog hair. I made the owner aware of all these issues and he stated i wasnt entitled to a refund if i left early and that there was no dog hair although i had pictures taken while i was staying there. The towel warmer takes at least 2 hours to barely warm a towel...so turn it on when ur fixing to eat dinner. The bikes were available; however, it seemed like it was a problem that i took it out for my personal use....i asked the other host if i could use one bike and he said yes and the other host comes down and says in a rude way" why is the bike out" i explained i asked to use it and then he just left as if he was annoyed.

Everything about our experience at this property was positive. The host was most helpful and flexible to meet our needs when our flight was cancelled. Our stay was comfortable, the bed amazing, and bath and kitchen facilities were excellent. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to stay in Portland area.

Excellent stay, nice apartment
The rooms were very nice, decor very pleasant, nice touches. The basement apt. has low ceilings and two beams that were very low. My husband is 6ft5 so this was a problem for him. The wifi signal was weak. However, the host was great, the place was spotless and it was obvious they cared about providing a cozy place to stay. I would recommend it, but not if you are over 6 ft tall.

The property was in a quiet part of Portland where real Portlanders live. (Not too touristy) The bedroom was super cozy, almost too much, as the bed pretty much took up the entire space so there wasn’t room to walk along the sides, we crawled up it from the end. But it worked fine.

Good location for us
We wanted to be in striking distance of south Portland, but out of the bustle. My wife usually likes lots of light. Our below ground unit didn't have that, but the art and decor made up it. Very clean and well appointed. I've never even seen a towel heater for my shower before.

A few blocks from where we use to live so we know the area well. The space was comfortable altho the bedroom was a bit tight. We had everything we needed & it was very clean. We would definitely refer this property & possibly stay again. Thank you.

Nice place to stay
Nicely done property. The listing stated that the unit was on the first floor. I did not realize that it was actually a basement unit. No way to control the AC. The online pictures did a good job of making it look larger than it was. There was also a smell of fuel oil when first entering the unit. Cheryl (who was covering for Elie) was terrific! She and the cleaning person came over and did everything they could to improve the smell and our stay. The odor did get better.

Clean, Safe Stay in Portland
Our stay was convenient and pleasant in every way. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood with easy street parking in front of the unit. Southwest is a beautiful area of Portland with nice parks near by. The unit is perfect for a couple- not huge- but designed well for the compact space. Comfortable bed, nice bedding, very clean and the host was friendly and communicative. I liked his photography art as well. Would stay again and recommend this VRBO.

Portland visit to see our son in school at OHSI
We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed coffee every morning on the hammock chairs. Ended each night in the same spot with an adult beverage. Walked to the downtown area on our last night for some delicious ice cream. It was very convenient being so close to our son's school.

The property was very charming. Had some issues with the lock box and spent the first night in the car because we could not get into the unit, but that was my error and not the property owners.

This is indeed a gem!
We stayed at the Multnomah Gem for the Memorial Day weekend. We had good communication with the host, Elie, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The basement apartment is cosy and has been very well renovated with excellent use of the space. It was a busy weekend for us, but we enjoyed sitting in the garden for a while; it was very peaceful. The location is excellent too - what a beautiful neighbourhood! All-in-al we had a great introduction to Portland and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this VRBO.

Great place to stay for a trip to OHSU
We stayed here while my husband had a procedure at OHSU. The location was a less than 15 minute drive to OHSU. The apartment was well equipped. It was easy to find and park in front of and we found the owner easy to work with. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. It is a basement apartment and it did not have much natural light. The few small windows were higher on the walls. The ceilings felt low. The bedroom was so small that the queen bed was against a wall and so only one side was accessible for getting on and off the bed, but it was a super comfortable bed. The bathroom and kitchen were recently remodeled and nice. The couch in the living room converted easily into a bed and was comfortable. The spaces are on the small side, but the apartment worked well for us.
