My husband and I visited Portland about two years ago and we stayed at a hotel last time. We decided to stay at an AirBnB for the very first time. After researching some local homes in the area we came across Martin and Grace's private studio. The previous reviews and descriptions were accurate and I definitely recommend their place to stay. My husband and I were here for a wedding and to eat like local foodies. We wanted to make sure we were close to all the downtown and local eats. The furthest place was about 6 miles. Portland definitely runs local and the quickest way to travel is on a bike or car (possibly uber). You'll come across many neighborhoods in this area and traffic lights (which is very common).

The place itself was perfect for two people. Could fit 4 possibly with the futon. There were helpful post-it notes listed around their home to assist with little things (i.e., turn air here, open futon bed like this, wifi here...). There's no physical key needed, just use key code (extremely convenient). Parking is easy (always more than enough space). Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There was an issue with the iron... but Martin and Grace accommodated quickly! I texted them to just give them the heads up that it may be damaged and they immediately bought a new one. One of the best experiences!
