With regards to “Area around the property,” it is Portland, and pretty darn close to downtown, so some un-housed individuals roaming around and panhandling is to be expected, but overall an amazing place to stay! Quiet, chill, very walkable area and close to some shopping and breweries. Sadly the door to the rooftop patio was broken and needed to be fixed. Aaliyah (the host in the front) was amazingly sweet and very accommodating!! The other two staff members (sorry I forgot their names!), a gentleman with his hair up in a bun and pimple patch and a young lady with glasses, tattoos and a nose-ring (I think) were both amazing!!! They were there the first time we stayed at this facility and both were as sweet and phenomenal as they were back then! Management did an amazing job putting these three in the front!!
