David’s apartment is beyond anything we’d expected when we booked a place at the last minute in Portland. ‘Cool’ is honestly an understatement. We found the apartment building from the 1920s incredible, with modern amenities that didn’t detract from its charm.
The kitchen in particular was a wonderful space, with beautiful cupboards and tiled surfaces that added to the cozy atmosphere of the space. We were hit with a few days of rain and snow, but that only served to increase our appreciation of the apartment. The kitchen was fully supplied with everything we might need to cook for several days as we bunkered down for the ‘snowpocalypse’.
The apartment is heated throughout, and the bedroom extremely comfortable. The living area is also generously sized, and tastefully decorated in a way that makes it feel truly cozy and welcoming unlike some Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in that frankly lacked character. We loved looking out of the windows at the knotted, moss covered trees as the snow drifted down outside.
David was a great host. His responses were always swift, and he was more than willing to help us with any queries as well as an early check in. The location was extremely convenient, and we had a supermarket literally right around the corner- as well as breweries, restaurants, bookshops, and vintage stores.
Considering the rushed booking, we couldn’t have hoped for a better location, space, or host. We can’t wait to visit the city again soon, and hope to stay at David’s again.
