This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was a great one! Angela's place is exactly as described - it's a lovely, clean space with all the amenities. The apartment is set up length-wise, with the living space/kitchen at the back, then the bedroom, then the bathroom. The door is a key-code lock, making arrivals and departures smooth and easy. The bedroom has a lovely little vertical garden outside the window. Kitchen is well apportioned, and we did cook several meals. Bathroom is fabulous - luxurious bath products are provided, along with a basket of sample-sized products to try. Everything you might need is provided, and if you need anything else, have questions, or run low, Angela is very quick to respond. She also provided lots of great suggestions for us on places to eat and things to do! Of course, the problem with Portland is that there's more to do than any visitor can manage - but that's a good problem to have! We also appreciated being able to check in a bit early (not guaranteed, but Angela does everything she can to accommodate!).

The location was perfect for exploring Portland. We enjoyed walking in the local neighborhood and exploring further on our packable bikes. Mississippi Ave. restaurants are quite walkable, and NE Alberta is walkable (but a bit further). Whole Foods and New Seasons are both very convenient for picking up any necessities. We biked from one end of Portland to the other - we found it much easier than driving! After exploring many of the other neighborhoods in Portland, we actually liked the one we were staying in the best. We also ventured out to Cannon Beach to see Haystack Rock and into the Columbia Gorge to see Multnomah Falls. We also took a long walk in Forest Park.

Highly recommended!
