Akiko and Matt were fantastic hosts! They were prompt in responding to our inquiries and easy to communicate with, which was very helpful throughout the planning process. They have created a wonderful setting for travelers and we felt at home instantly. It was so great to have a clean, comfortable, organized space to come back to after exploring the city. The deck is also a great part of the home we enjoyed.

While the location is not in the city center, but easily accessible, it was a pleasant to be in a neighborhood outside of the hectic touristy streets. Other reviews were slightly misleading to us in regards to the surroundings; the neighborhood is extremely diverse but in no way unsafe. We never felt it was an issue to walk around and explore. In fact, walking to nearby Columbia City was a pleasant experience and we really enjoyed that part of town for it's eclectic vibe and great dining scene. However, we are city dwellers, so that is our perspective.

Akiko and Matt are very friendly and kind hosts, which made us feel at ease. We are so thankful they have chosen to welcome travellers to their lovely space! We look forward to returning soon!
