Nathan’s place was perfect for our trip to Portland! We planned this as a vacation/home-search trip to see if Portland is a place we’d like to move to someday.
The place was cozy and well decorated- it reminded me a lot of apartments we’ve lived in back in the Bay Area and also Brooklyn. The nook was perfect to get some work done and the living room was awesome to just chill out on and catch up on TV between exploring neighborhoods. The house is really charming and the natural light and plants inside are a vibe.
It’s pretty quiet, but very conveniently located near pubs and restaurants you can walk to- as described by Nathan’s guide which was super helpful. Every Lyft ride was under 20 minutes and we even had Getaround options nearby since we flew in. The area is really green and homey, without feeling super detached from everything. The AC was top-notch, especially since we were looking to escape the LA heat this weekend.
I am really particular about Airbnbs and often just opt for hotels for the convenience, but I really enjoyed my stay here. I think Nathan stays in the basement/downstairs unit when the house is occupied, a detail I may have missed in the description/check-in that startled me at first 😅 I just hope we weren’t too loud above.
