First, let me say that the Host, Mandie, actually met us at check-in. This personal interaction has become a rarity with Airbnb. We were actually "Welcomed" to the property, and this makes any stay a bit more "personal", which is what Airbnb was originally designed to do!
In addition, Mandie was always quick to answer questions and get back to me by text.
The space is well-designed and functional -- and attractive. The kitchen is well equipped. Something I appreciate as a cook: the pots and pans are quality stainless steel. No peeling and scratched cheap Teflon here! The appliances are new, and there is plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen.
The building is well-insulated, actually to the point of being too hot for us in winter. We set the thermostat "off", and "cycled" the beautiful gas fireplace on & off to regulate heat. The fireplace heats the entire space in no time, and so does turning on the oven!
For us, the location was great, as I was going to therapy just 4 blocks away in "downtown Kenton". Also, although the traffic in Portland is terrible, it was usually a quick 10 minute trip north on I-5 to the Janzeen Center Mall for shopping.
However, if you are looking to be in a vibrant area of Portland, this location may not be your best choice. It is very close to both I-5 & the MAX, so it is fairly quick and easy to get to a variety of places. But although there are a couple restaurants in Kenton, Kenton is sort of the "step-child" of Portland. The location is just above a rail yard and an industrial area.
