This was the best airbnb we have stayed in. The photos were a good representation of the place, but the accommodation was even better than that. It was large and newly remodeled super tastefully. Clean lines and surfaces. No dusty nicknacks! The appliances and fixtures were all high quality and worked well. Heat in main room and bathroom. I have a thing about molding and the finishes in the apt were perfect. My husband has a thing about low shower heads (he is 6' 2") and he loved the shower! He could stand up tall underneath the shower.
There were drinks and snacks in the fridge and on the counter. Other details that made us feel at home were paper goods as needed, lots of fluffy white towels, a wireless speaker for our music, and cable, if we wanted it. The unit was newly remodeled and painted a muted, calm grey; clean lines and quality materials.
The neighborhood of Kenton is a quiet, historic residential 'hood. There are restaurants and cafes in the area. The best part was the bus stop immediately out the front door. The 4 and 35 buses took us anywhere we wanted to go in Portland for $5 per day, with free sight seeing thrown in.
The house itself was quiet and peaceful. It is a semi basement level apt, and we could hear sounds of life in the unit above, but it was comfortable and not at all an issue. The nights were very quiet.
What a great spot and great value. Thanks Rob and Lauren.
