This was my first Air BnB experience. I did have the benefit of having lived in Portland before so I knew what I wanted. The Location can't be beat! If you enjoy art, restaurants, coffee, and books, this is the place for you. You literally have every type of food available a block from the home. I did not have a car so getting downtown was extremely easy with the #8 bus running about every 12 minutes. Teresa, the host, checked in periodically to make sure I had what I needed or to see if I needed any suggestions on places to stay. The home is an older home but it was clean and quiet. It is a "fixer upper" of sorts so there is the usual bit of dust and creaky floors but it was cozy and my bed was comfy. There are steep stairs to the home so do keep this in mind if you have any difficulty with stairs. As a guest you are just expected to clean up after yourself and maintain a reasonable quietness. I would stay here again in a second.
