I cannot say enough good things about Tyra's place-- it was our favorite part of our week long trip through 3 different AirBnBs. Tyra communicated to us the whole time throughout check-in and everything was a breeze. The deck/view was incredible and the location was perfect for us, as we were interested in being away from most traffic so we could hop around to nearby touristy adventures like Multnomah Falls & Forest Park, but was just a quick walk and street car stop away from the heart of the Pearl District. The neighborhood itself had nearby coffee shops and amazing food options-- we were pretty much very touristy and followed suggestions like Pine State Biscuits and Voodoo Doughnuts from online trip sites and the like. However, Tyra went above and beyond to map out helpful things.. I'm talking pamphlets and binders galore! Any question you could possibly have could be answered by the materials she provides. She also left us some yummy beer and snacks, as well as a beautifully kept bathroom with some essential toiletries and extra nice touches like bath robes.

The only negatives I could really say were the fact it was a few flights of stairs up, so would definitely be a struggle for an older couple or someone juggling a stroller and things like that. It felt like the hot water in the shower took a really long time to kick in, and also the floors were extremelyyy creaky. Even though we tried to tread quietly, we sort of felt like our every move was noisy and could be heard below. But for the time we actually spent within the space, these things weren't a big deal and definitely didn't outweigh all the great things. If we make it back to Portland, we'd love to stay at Tyra's again!
