This was my first experience with Airbnb, and I absolutely love the concept. It was great staying in a neighborhood and being able to be immersed in the local environment. Of course, it helped that the studio was wonderful to stay in; like a second home. It made me feel like moving to Portland.
The location was great, near to brilliant restaurants, close to the MAX, and we were able to walk to downtown to rent our bikes. The apartment had great character, and the bed was comfortable for the two of us. It had a great little kitchen if you want to cook, but there are so many local places to eat and try, so we only used it for breakfast.
I would definitely try to rent this again when I go back, unless there are more people in my party.
