Mary Beth and Mary were the quintessential airbnb hosts. They were super friendly and really made you feel like it was a whole experience versus just a transaction.
The location (Kerns/Laurelhurst) is in an awesome neighborhood of Portland. It looks residential, but there are tons of cool bars, breweries, shops, cafes, and restaurants close by. There's a Whole Foods 5 min walk away. It also has some of the best wellness spas in the city. If you want to get to the city center, you can simply take the trimet bus (stop is 5 min away) or take an affordable Uber/Lyft for $8-12.
The studio exceeds all expectations! Clean, open, and great layout. So many windows to open and you get an amazing cross breeze. Yet, you have your privacy as well. We stayed during a heatwave and it was still very comfortable. Mary Beth and Mary provide everything you need in kitchen appliances, towels and complimentary shampoo and conditioner. The bed is comfortable as well.
This may sound a little weird, but I loved the floor as well.
Could not have been happier. What a great airbnb experience. Loved Portland as well, will definitely be back!
