Vinay's place was very stylish and homey with lots of natural light. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, knives, and spices so that we could do our own cooking. The appliances were new and clean and the space had a very modern look to it. There were several fans that can be used for white noise and a nice air-conditioning unit. Having a washer & dryer and detergent in the house was very handy. The couch was nice but we found it a little bit stiff for us. Overall the place was very warm, inviting, and aesthetically pleasing.
The location is about a 10 to 12 minute walk from the metro/train station or there are several bus-stops closer to the house. We found Portland's public transport fairly easy to navigate and use. The neighborhood is quiet with a nice park nearby.
Vinay was a very kind and thoughtful host. We would highly recommend his place to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable stay in Portland.
