This was my second time staying in Hillary’s place! Our first stay was a year ago, and when we decided to visit Portland again this year, we wanted to stay at her place again as our first experience was amazing.
I wrote a detailed review after our first stay, so here is a copy/paste of it with some updates for things that were different during our second stay:
This was one of the best airbnbs I have stayed in. You stay in a guest suite attached to Hilary’s house, but it’s completely private with private guest entrance.
The studio is spacious, perfect for two people. It has a big kitchen with full set of kitchen utensils and appliances, dining table with 4 chairs, and a living room with TV and sofa/chairs. The studio has 4 windows with blinds and heater/fan/air conditioner.
We were so impressed how the entire house was super clean, especially the bathroom. She also provides the toiletries you would find in a hotel room. You can also enjoy a hot bath in the clean bathtub!
There is a large washer/dryer/iron in the studio and Hilary provides detergents and fabric softeners you can use. They are in a closet with doors so it’s not too loud even when you have washer/dryer running. There is a also a big closet space in the studio for your clothes.
Hilary provides some drinks in the fridge, and has coffee/teas and snacks/oatmeal for you. There is also Whole Foods Market 5min walking distance from the house.
There is plenty of street parking near the house. The house is located on the east side of the river, in a quiet neighborhood, with so many great restaurants nearby.
They also updated the lock with numeric pad so no need for you to carry any keys!
Hilary is a great, kind host who is quick to respond if you need help. We recommend this place 100% and would love to come back a third time when we visit Portland again :)
