I can't say enough good things about Michelle's Roseway home! My two friends and I stayed for a long stay with her, working from home and exploring Portland, and wish we could move here full time. Some of our favorite things about our stay:
1. The neighborhood! Parking was easy and abundant around the house, even with our two cars. The house is truly across the street from the grocery store - it was awesome to just walk over when we forgot something last minute or needed a quick trip. Having a bagel place around the corner was also essential for us. The neighborhood was beautiful and in full bloom in May, and had a huge park a few blocks away great for running and tennis. Even though we were technically by a main road, we felt totally tucked away. Best, we were only a 10 minute drive from the airport, which was perfect for our visiting friends and family.
2. The house! This is the most beautiful AirBnB I've stayed in, hands down. Michelle's taste is so colorful and warm, and every corner of the home is obviously so lovingly put together. Each bedroom is unique and colorful, the beds are extremely comfortable, and we had more than enough bedding to go around. We had friends visit and utilized the living room pull out couch and upstairs futon, and had plenty of space for everyone. We had plenty of closet and storage space, easy laundry access, and plenty of seating space.
3. The kitchen! Staying for a month meant our kitchen space was key - we love to cook and we had such a blast cooking in the kitchen here. It's extremely well stocked with all the dishware, pots and pans, spices, bowls, utensils, etc that we needed. Whenever we needed something we didn't have, Michelle helped get it for us. The fridge is huge and spacious, the kitchen has all the needed appliances like dishwasher, microwave, and toaster oven, and we loved the colorful dishware and mugs. The island in the middle was also perfect for extra counter space.
4. Working from home! At our peak, we had five different people working from home one day, and it went totally fine! WiFi signal was strong, and between the attic space, the front porch, the multiple tables in the kitchen and breakfast bar, and the desk in one of the bedrooms, we were totally set.
5. Other special touches! So many to name - the chickens in the backyard, the outdoor table we had wine nights and dinners with friends at, Charles the cat who always came to say hi, the dimmers on the light switches for soft, warm lighting, the modern bathroom, and most importantly, a phenomenal host! Michelle truly wanted us to feel at home during our stay and went out of her way to provide good recommendations, make sure we were fully stocked, give insight into the area and Portland overall, and was such a joy to meet and work with!
