I had a great time in Portland, a lot of which was made better by the living arrangements. I hadn't done much research on the city before booking, but went ahead and booked the Airbnb based on reviews and I'm glad I did! Though we spent a lot of time on the other side of the river, we also explored Alberta quite a bit, which is something I wouldn't have done if I had stayed near downtown. I especially enjoyed waking up at a leisurely time and exploring Alberta, which was slower paced and a relaxing vibe. Later in the day, when I wanted to explore, downtown was just a short drive away. As for the place, everything was well thought out and the amenities were way more than I needed. I look forward to visiting Portland and would love to stay at Steve's place again.
