Jeez Louise, Holy Smokes and Cheese! What a phenomenal stay! As soon as I saw this place I was bummed that my stay was going to be so short.
This was my first Air BnB experience and it left such a great impression. Ted was awesome! He was in such great communication the entire time from start to finish. Gave me a nice welcome email, gave me advice for making it a smooth process, answered all my questions before my arrival and was just… attentive. But he’s mastered the art of being “attentive” without being intrusive. If you want a stay where you’re left alone, you can have that. If you want a stay where you’d like a little more interaction or advice on what to do or where to go, he can be that too. Plus he has a great book that he put together that helps with suggestions too! Check-in was easy and seamless. It’s a self-check-in process and they got it down to a science! I appreciated his willingness to let me check my bag in early so I could shop and enjoy the city without having to worry about lugging it around!
With this being my first AirBnB experience, AND being a single lady in a town with which I am not familiar, I enjoyed having a space that was my own, but knowing that they were right above. The rental was cute and amazing. Thoughtfulness at every turn. I even had a chocolate on my pillow when I checked in!!!! That was my favorite!!! VERY CLEAN!!!! You gotta see this bathroom! That shower was amazing! Like a tropical water fall! This rental is worth it for the bed and shower alone! Haha (Loved the “munchy basket” too!) The location was great. I had access to a car, but it was not far from public transport, or even bike rentals. (A lot of people ride bikes in this town!) I come to Portland for business every summer and it’s only for 3 days and I’m in conferences all day. So I was just looking for a nice, safe, clean place to lay my head at night. This was that, and so much more! I’ll have to come back and stay here again when I can fully enjoy all the amenities because there are many! And definitely when I can enjoy more of the city overall! Slappy Cakes was awesome! Powell’s Books was awesome! But Ted you were the awesomest! Thanks for a great first rental experience! :-)
