The first thing that I was struck by in Michael's listing was how it was simultaneously both precisely every creature comfort I would expect in a well-appointed listing AND was incredibly unique and beautiful in its charm!
Right from your first steps walking into the listing through the stunning greenhouse that was fully attached to the house (my god, who has one of those?! And is it technically called something else? Anyway, I digress...) all the way to the - dare I say it? - majestically spacious shower, every bit of this space is at a level of taste and professionalism that is unparalleled by any other Airbnb Iisting I've experienced.
The greenhouse does act as a perfectly stunning indoor/outdoor space. Despite the snow in PDX (!), I was still able to make use of this space quite comfortably wearing a light jacket and a scarf, and I can only imagine how stunning it would be in any other circumstance if it was this beautiful in winter.
Once you enter the main building, the room is just as you would expect - and more: spacious, comfortable, thoughtful (there were snacks and beverages available in the kitchenette!), stylish, bright, airy, clean -- the works. The wifi was perfect, and I even had a great space to work.
I also appreciated Michael's thoughtfulness around COVID cleanliness, and how he made sure that we didn't have to communicate face-to-face to eliminate any risks by being incredibly attentive to all my messages/requests, and by making self-checkin an absolute breeze through his simple, super clear instructions.
Don't miss this listing -- book it if it's available!
