Hal and Mindy's place is in a perfect location - you can walk to countless attractions in Portland. The apartment had plenty of space for 2 of us, and everything we needed was available.
Communicating with Hal was perfect. Replies came in no time. He is incredibly friendly.
I was a bit worried about disturbing others since I had to take phone calls at 6AM. The office room allowed for this and there were no problems whatsoever.
The hosts are incredibly hospitable and considerate. They are clearly not using AirBNB to "make a quick buck in some afterthought retrofit room in a house." Stay here if you can. This place is in high demand - with good reason.
