This was a wonderful experience in Portland. I was very surprised. I have never used Airbnb before and now will likely try it first when traveling. The hosts were very nice and not overly intrusive. The location was within walking distance to everything you would look for other than entertainment and business. A small kitchen and private sitting room were more than you could expect from a hotel suite. PS the kitchen came stocked with h&h, milk, english muffins, coffee and lots of toilet amenities to mention only a few. There were also a whole slew of cold water bottles in the fridge for taking with you on excursions into town.
Overall a wonderful experience in Portland.
