This was a great choice for my husband and me. We were looking for a place close to our son’s home (SE Portland), in a safe area, and a house that had AC. We only needed one bedroom but chose this not only for the location but also for the value. Robert’s place had everything we needed and more. Unfortunately, we spent most of our time outside the Airbnb, visiting our son and his family, so we never got to appreciate most of the amenities. There was a pantry full of spices and staples which would be a huge help to travelers who plan to cook. Because the home was so spacious, we really enjoyed our down time, though. This host was great about keeping the lines of communication open. His bookcase of trip books and wall art gave us an insight to his love of travel. Many homes in Portland are very old and not well kept up but you could tell that Robert made a great deal of effort to make his property comfortable and inviting. He added a special touch of welcome chocolates and provided a listing of neighborhood spots for restaurants, breweries, gardens, and cafes.
Portland is a great jumping off spot if you love the great outdoors and plan to make day trips to Mount Hood and a drive out to the coast. This is an excellent place to stay if you are visiting Portland.
