Superb Environment and Hospitality

Living in your own small townhouse in the lovely Pearl District of Portland OR is the way to go, particularly with the warmth provided by the hosts and their dog, Billy. The property is between a street closed to traffic, and filled in with a variety of plants, and a clean, wide airy alley way. The hosts live in their townhome while, separated by a courtyard, you inhabit a fine set of rooms over the garage, next to the alley. With light on both sides, cross ventilation and a well appointed lay out, all was fine. There was a decent desk, a comfortable bed, lots of space and a well laid out bathroom. I don't know what expectations are for facilities for advanced snacking in an AirBnB listing; this one lacked an impervious surface to spill on, but had a large small refrigerator, etc, in a closet. It was fine.
A fine chair with good light was available for reading or watching TV. One could hear neighbors talking sometimes, possible when they were in their courtyards? but the overall feeling was one of serenity.

The hosting was effective. They made an effort to provide a welcoming atmosphere that was much appreciated.
