I live in the portland metro area, and my cousin was coming to visit, and so I went to Airbnb in hopes of having a staycation with the comforts of home but without the pressures of entertaining my guest 24/7.

We had a great 4 days, was not actually in the room very much, but only because we were out sight seeing. We found the accommodations perfect for our needs - especially appreciating the coffee (we aren't early breakfast eaters) and we loved having an LP record player to listen to, as well as a private entrance, hot tub, clean private bathroom, and laundry facilities.

The space is more than large enough; lots of conveniences, and I even was able to inflate an air mattress due to back problems, I can't handle sleeping on a firm mattress, but my cousin said she slept fine.

Since I had never explored the Sellwood area, there were lots of new things to see for me as well. We enjoyed the antique shops, and the food at Kay's Bar was the best! We also enjoyed New Seasons Market, and took a picnic lunch with lots of local foods to taste on the day that we toured the Columbia Gorge.

I hope to stay again and maybe explore the Woodstock neighborhood :) Thanks to Michael and Dianne for being so welcoming :) considering how this was my first Airbnb experience, it exceeded my expectations :)
