This was a great Airbnb experience and Carl was a great host! If you want the ultimate Portland-living experience, Carl's place is it. The house had an authentic feel to it, which I really enjoyed. You cannot beat the location considering the proximity to the Alberta Arts District, the grocery store right across the street from the house and plenty of great coffee shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. The house itself was clean, nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. There's a nice office room with a standing desk well-equipped with other office essentials, which made it great remote working during the COVID-19 situation. The backyard was a big plus.
We had some issues with the door lock not working properly sometimes but Carl was very responsive about it and would immediately help with it as soon as we'd reach out. Overall, a friendly and communicative host! I recommend you go through his local guide as well if you choose to stay here.:) It helped us identify the must-go-to places much easier! Will definitely stay here again if I find my way to Portland again!
