Please make a note - the heat system is shared with the lower unit, this is the upper level of a house, a classic Portland craftsman duplex layout for the neighborhood. The thermostat is kept between 69-72 and there are floor heat vents in the three main rooms (bedroom, living room and kitchen) that can be opened and closed depending on comfort level as well as additional space heaters. Please also remember that this is a house with a shared front entrance and door (additional separate locking door to individual units) so please be mindful of noise levels, door slamming, and keeping the front door locked for everyone's peace of mind. Pets are welcome but let me know before booking. I do ask that destructive or untrained/un-housebroken animals stay home. Pets should absolutely not be left alone if they bark incessantly. If you're traveling with multiple pets, very hairy pets, or staying for more then a week with pets, the regular pet fee may be increased. For stays over 3 weeks there will be an additional cleaning fee of $75. The listing is for a 2 person occupancy but another person could be welcome on the pullout couch in bedroom (twin). There is also a twin blow up mattress (upon request) that can be slept on if traveling with an extra person or kiddo but occupancy above two are charged an extra $45 fee for the trip to cover extra linens, utilities, cleaning etc. This doesn't apply to children under 2. On that note, there is a pack and play crib (available with notice). Interested in a longer stay during the winter or spring months? Reach out and we can discuss a discounted rate. Guest access This private unit is the entire second floor of a craftsman duplex. There is a shared hallway, see pics, this apartment is located up the stairs. The front door to the house is on an electronic keypad deadbolt system and keys for the apartment are in a lockbox located at the top of stairs landing. Codes for both the door and the lockbox given before travel date. Shared access (with the downstairs tenant) to the basement (separate street entrance) where the washer/dryer is located and also shared fenced backyard. Other things to note There are usually folks in the lower apartment also. For this reason we ask to be mindful of noise levels after 10pm and before 8am, consider taking off loud shoes when inside, and please help keep the lower level front door shut and locked (on an electronic keypad deadbolt). Please don't do laundry after quiet hours or between 11am-3pm in case we're cleaning the other apartment and need access. For longer stay guests note that garbage is picked up every other week (like this all over Portland) while recycling/compost/yard waste is every week. Please do your best to recycle when possible.
