David is an excellent host who soared above all standards. He was incredibly patient and selfless, staying up all hours of the night at times to help accomodate our needs. On several occasions during our brief stay, he went out of his way to provide for us in both material and non material ways.
The property itself was in an incredibly safe area and the house was very clean. The location is perfect for travelers who have a vehicle at their disposal, being situated just outside the city and decently close to outdoor activities. The challenge comes in for those relying solely on public transport because it becomes quite limited that far from the city. The closest bus stop is a short but slightly challenging walk through a beautiful neighborhood, so physically able guests should have no problem. In the case of guests unable to make the trek, rideshare services like lyft were reliably accessible, especially on the way out of the neighborhood.
Guests with a more tame and tranquil demeanor would likely have a better time as opposed to those who have louder and more rambunctious behavior. The hosts are in house during your stay and travellers should be prepared to respect their sleeping time later at night. My party was on the louder side, but we had an incredible experience regardless of the noise restriction.
Overall, Dave is a top notch host and it is clear to me why he has earned superhost status on airbnb. I strongly recommend booking with him, and I intend to stay with him again if I ever return to Portland.
