Alex was an amazing host. Her home was beautifully furnished and well thought out, including many "tiny home" touches that made the small space efficient and comfortable. Local art and handmade goods fill the beautiful and well equipped (you'll have everything you need-Alex took great care to anticipate needs!) space. Beds and bedding, including the pullout were very comfortable. Her place was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Actually, it was even cuter in real life!
The location is in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods to be in, in Portland. All of the yummiest foods (from restaurants to food carts), bars, coffee shops, shopping, live music and more are just steps away. Public transit is literally across the street and will take you downtown (and everywhere else you could want to go) in about 15-30 mins depending on the destination.
Lastly, Alex was the most gracious and hospitable host. She was sweet beyond belief. She held our bags for us until the room was ready, provided coffee and other welcome snacks, and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She provided us detailed hike information for what was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Hands down, best Airbnb host I've ever had the pleasure of staying with. I only hope her place will be available for future trips!
