As first time Airbnb users, we did not know what to expect with the service. Little did we know that we had signed up for an amazing host!
Immediately after booking our stay, Dan was quick to initiate communication with us through the Airbnb messaging system. He asked if there were any particular things we wanted to do in portland and was eager to offer up suggestions! He also asked if there was anything special we needed and was willing to try his best and accomodate any special requests. Even before the trip began, Dan was already a step ahead and promtly gave us clear check-in instructions.
Once we arrived, Dan was ready to greet us and gave us a tour of the house. He was very informative and gave us a full overview of all the amenities (of which there were many) that were available to us. As the description says, we basically had the entire first floor of the house to ourselves and Dan was not intrusive at all. As he gave us the tour we were greeted with a sparkling clean house. When asking him for information of the neighborhood and restaurants, Dan made it clear to us the best places to go to for food and such around the house. In addition to that, Dan was very passionate about his city and was always ready to talk about Portland and the nearby areas.
Throughout our stay, Dan was always willing to go out of his way to make our stay the best it could be. The house is full of amenities and will cater to any traveller's needs. As for Dan (and the cats), his welcoming presence and knowledge of the area made the stay both comfortable and enriching!
We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Portland. For any first time Airbnb users, this place will be an amazing and comfortable entry into the service!
