I stayed at Amy’s place for over a week while visiting family in Portland. I wanted my own space and chose this place based on all the good reviews, the location, and the amenities. It exceeded my expectations! It was so relaxing and met all my needs. This studio is located in a refurbished detached garage which looks and acts NOTHING like a garage. It was completely remodeled and looks (inside and outside) like an upscale apartment. The curb appeal of her home is beautiful. And I felt very safe in her neighborhood. I mention all this because this space is completely separate from her house, it feels super private, and looks lovely from the street. On arrival, I was able to enter with a keyless lock pad and upon entry I was delighted with my initial impression of the accommodations! First, let me tell you that Amy goes way above and beyond when it comes to “the extras” especially in the area of little treats. On arrival she had left me lots of goodies: muffins, cereal, milk, yogurt, nuts, and coffee. During my stay she even baked me some cookies! She made sure to keep up the communication to be sure I had everything I needed. Although I am not used to using a French Press for my coffee, I learned quickly and enjoyed coffee in my room. There is also a very nice coffee shop only a few blocks away and I got my latte fix by going there on occasion. We do lots of entertaining in our home and because of how nicely appointed her space was, I took home a few tips on how to enhance my own space! All the special touches she put into this rental made it so inviting. There was nothing left out and if there was and if I asked, I am certain Amy would have made it right. It is obvious she has the gift of hospitality and that her main desire is to make sure her guests have a most pleasant stay. By my request, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to share a cup of coffee with her and get to know her a little bit. I could not have asked for a better place to stay in Portland. This AirBnB was exactly what I needed for my week.
