Our host, Elie, was very friendly and helpful. He addressed our concern re: a defective circuit breaker immediately with tool box in hand!
The rental unit is a basement unit. It is very nicely furnished.Yard area is lovely.

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.

Stayed a week. Easy place to see several parts of Oregon from. Quiet, comfortable, friendly place to return to after busy days of sightseeing. Our first trip to the Pacific Northwest- will return.

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.
10.0
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.
8.0
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.
10.0
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.

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.
8.0
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.

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.

This property is thoughtfully maintained and the host was very welcoming. We enjoyed it and the nearby village restaurants and shops!!

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.

The accommodations were perfectly wonderful and quiet for a rainy weekend in Portland. I snuggled in wrote and worked and took brief trips to visit family. You will love this quiet retreat
10.0
We had a great time last week at this property. It is clean, comfortable, and perfect for two people. The apartment had wonderful small touches (free coffee, towel warmers, comfy beds/pillows). We loved being able to walk into Multnomah Village and be minutes from downtown Portland. We will definitely try to stay here again!
10.0
Lovely neighborhood and retreat. Well appointed and comfortable for a basement apartment. Elie was a very responsive and attentive host. The bed was very comfortable.
If you are a senior or over 6'5" I would not recommend it for these reasons. There are stairs down to the apartment and the driveway and stairs are not lighted at night. Could be dangerous.
Some of the remodeling involved enclosing pipes or heating ducts causing low pass ceiling dips which you can bump your head on if very tall. Other than those two things it is very modern and livable in a very nice neighborhood which is very quiet and safe.

Great for 2 people. Could have used an outdoor light at the top of the stairs. Very quiet and cozy

There are 2 rentals on the property. Mine was on a level below the main house. It was very clean and had what I would have needed if I wanted to stay at the place and cook. It was on the small side but was just right for me or a couple to use. It was within my walking distance of various restaurants and shops but was a few blocks into a nice eclectic neighborhood. There was an easy check in and out. and the wifi worked. I chatted with the host once but never needed any service. I would stay here again

Everything was clean. Didn't cook, but kitchen had good variety of pots, pans, and dishes. Didn't have a chance to enjoy the yard, but it was quite inviting.

The basement apartment is nicely remodeled and the host is excellent in responding and trying to accommodate any request. Being an unusually warm time, guests should know there is no A/C. There are fans and air. Being so humid, it can be a little damp smelling. Everything worked well and the kitchen was well stocked. Quiet neighborhood, so felt safe and the backyard is beautiful!

I enjoyed my stay here for a fun 5-day getaway. Communication with the hosts was great, and they were reaponsive to any inquiries/requests. The placenwas very clean, nice bathroom and decent bed/pillows. The backyard oasis is really charming and relaxing and the resident cat even paid us a visit. A great place to wind down with a book and a cold brew in the evening. The neighborhood is really cute and quiet with quick and easy access to the rest of the city.

Great location in quiet neighborhood. The unit was comfortable & clean.

It turned out there were only 2 of us which was perfect so that we didn't have to pull out the couch. For us, it was perfectly located to where we needed to be. Nice quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed Multnomah Village for breakfast, coffee, yarn, books.

Portland-Perfect!
The unit was charming & contained everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet & lovely. The backyard is an oasis. Only comments are: the futon is a great idea as an extra bed but not a comfortable sofa & the TV does not have the ability to stream. Otherwise, I loved it. Thank you!
