This is hands-down the best AirBnB we've ever stayed at. It is literally the ideal version of what AirBnB is trying to do - provide experiences that feel like home when you travel to a new place.
The house is gorgeously appointed, and our remodeled attic space felt more like a studio than a bedroom. Quiet, private, and the cleanest space we've ever stayed in barring a 5-star hotel, Dylan's home was quite simply: perfect. There was even a latching door at the foot of the steps leading up to the space to give you that extra privacy.
There were so many thoughtful touches around the room and bathroom; everything from an abundance of q-tips for that pesky "wet ear" feeling when you get out of the shower to four clean, thick, plush towels that you want to wrap yourself in the whole day. The generous king sized bed was white-linen clean with feather pillows and the fridge had a local rose waiting for us when we checked in. I said to my boyfriend, "if we ran an AirBnB, this is how I would want my guests to feel!".
We love the Irvington / Eliot area because it has a ton of awesome up-and-coming tucked away hipster spots and New Seasons close by. Expect to walk a bit to the Mississippi area and uber to other parts of the city because the house isn't located super close to any major commercial area (about a 15 min walk to the happening Williams St. restaurants and shops). We don't mind at all though, and love a good walk to shake off all that amazing craft beer and cider we drink when we come to Portland!!
Overall a 10+ star experience and the kindest, coolest host you could ask for. Thank you Dylan for making Portland home-away-from-home!
