My girlfriend and I wanted to spend the Fourth of July weekend away from home but without having to fly out during the pandemic, so Portland was the perfect location for a change in scenery and hiking activities. Katie and David’s place were just as it looked in photos, and was even more charming in person. The amenities and details will make you feel comfy and cozy, such as bottled wine in the fridge, snacks on the table, soft blankets for the couch and bed, and slippers and bathrobes in the closet ready when you arrive. The TV also had streaming service, so it was perfect to come home from a hike, freshen up, and relax the rest of the night with wine and movies. Parking was available for our 1 car in the driveway and felt very safe. Location was great as it was 10-15 minutes from downtown and restaurants. Katie was very responsive to our requests, even on the day we checked out and forgot one item, she answered back immediately to let us back in to grab it before we left. With all the amenities and ambience, the value was perfect for a long weekend stay.
Usually I pick Airbnb’s purely for having a place to sleep in at the end of the day (cheap and practical, nothing super special or extravagant), but I’m really glad that we chose this Katie and David’s place as this has been the best place I’ve stayed so far, feels like coming home to your own place. Thank you Katie and David for providing us this wonderful stay!
