This was my first AirBnB experience and I can only hope that all subsequent experiences are equally good. Alison and David were very gracious hosts. They stayed up quite late into the evening to receive me when I arrived, and were extremely helpful setting me up as well as giving advice about how to spend the day and a half I had to spend in Portland.

The space itself is extremely comfortable with two bedrooms (though tall people need to watch for the sloping walls). All amenities one could need are provided, including soap/shampoo in the bathroom and tea/coffee/cereal in the kitchenette. And, everything is sparkling clean, which all travellers can appreciate.

This would be a great choice for both families and groups of 3-4 people looking to explore Portland. There's a bus stop close by that takes one to downtown PDX in 20 minutes or so; or, use the bikes Ali and David are happy to lend. The neighbourhood itself is quiet but friendly and that's exactly what I was looking for. If I'm in Portland again, I'm definitely staying here once more!
