Our stay at David's place was our very first Airbnb experience. I think we got spoiled. We're now staying in our second Airbnb and it's nowhere near the quality and cleanliness of David's private, mid-century modern furnished apartment above the garage in a quiet (silent!) neighborhood. Private entrance, clear instructions, comfortable bed. We erred (in our ignorance) by leaving dirty dishes in the sink, but when I asked David's advice on Airbnb etiquette, he said, "No big deal, but guests typically do their own dishes." I erroneously treated it like a hotel. David, we'll do better next time! :) Air conditioner and ceiling fans made this Portland hot spell perfectly comfortable. Don't be put off by the route from I-5 North to his place. We passed strip clubs, liquor stores, and check-cashing places--signs of a sketchy neighborhood. But by the time we arrived at David's, all of that was long behind and we felt perfectly safe and comfortable. We'd suggest dinner at the Tabor Tavern! Thanks, David, for being our very first Airbnb host.
