This was our first airbnb experience and it exceeded all expectations! Kimberly's studio was fantastic. Spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and cozy with all the amenities you could want or need. The location was perfect for experiencing all Portland has to offer. You are steps from SE Hawthorne and a 15 minute walk to SE Division which are full of unique restaurants, bars and shops. Take advantage of Portland's city-wide bike share at the station on 37th and Hawthorne to get into Portland in just 10 minutes time. Definitely enjoy the beautiful city views as you ride along the bike paths that outlines the city on both sides of the river. We took advantage of the natural beauties surrounding Portland, as well as the city itself, by renting a car, parking for free with ease on the street in front of the studio and taking two day trips - Columbia River Gorge, Falls and Mt Hood plus Coast incl. Cannon Beach & Seaside. As far as recommendations go we both couldn't recommend this Studio on the Blvd any higher. If you plan on visiting Portland, STAY HERE! Our recommendations: On SE Hawthorne - The Fried Egg (A+ everything is incredible), Blue Star Doughnuts (A), Cup & Saucer (A), Por Que No? (A); On SE Division - Pok Pok (A+ get the spicy wings), Salt & Straw (A get a freshly made waffle cone); In Downtown Portland - Voodoo Doughnuts (A+ literally anything your heart desires on a fluffy doughnut), Deschutes Brewery (A), 10 Barrel Brewery (A), The Grilled Cheese Grill (A+ food truck on block of 9th & Washington), Japanese Garden (B), International Rose Garden (B): Columbia River Gorge - Latourell Falls (A+), Muthnomah Falls (A+), Hood River Town (A+ go to Naked Winery and Full Sail Brewing Tour), Mt. Hood via the Timberline Lodge (A+ - hike up the mountain for unbelievable views): Coast - Astoria (D), Cannon Beach (A), Seaside (A). Hope you enjoy Portland as much as we did! Thanks again for the stay Kimberly!
