If you are looking at listings and trying to pick between them and this place is one; stop and just book here.
The neighborhood is perfect. Just out of the way to avoid traffic jams, but close enough to everything for quick access, safe and clean, filled with good restaurants and bars (and food carts/trucks!), as well as being a great walking and biking area. The shining star of this stay though is the house and it's hosts. They are fantastic people who will really care about connecting with you and making your stay all that it can be. I really felt like I was staying with a family friend more so than an Airbnb!
11/10 rating. The place is clean and comfortable, the hosts loving and wonderful, and the neighborhood perfect for a launching pad into the Portland region.
