Shera and her husband Andrew were super-duper hosts. The perfect blend of welcoming, warm, helpful, but never intrusive or overbearing! Shera was flexible with my changing arrival schedule and made sure we were nicely settled our first night. She went above and beyond to give a detailed tour of her garden and answer questions about Portland and her interesting home. The Laurelhurst neighborhood is one of my favorites in Portland, and it's places like Shera and Andrew's that I continue to use ABNB. The house is truly a private home that is loved, quirky, and comfortable. If you're used to a very modern home that has a more "hotel" sterile vibe that you can be up late with your friends making lots of noise this house isn't a good fit, if you want to look at the moon while sitting in hot tub next to huckleberries or wander tree shaded 100 lanes with 100 year old homes, this is a good fit for you! May not be well suited for couples with small children or people who have difficulty climbing stairs.
