Overall, we enjoyed our stay with Bina! She was very clear in her communication before and during our stay in her Portland home.
The only complaint I have is with regard to noise in the morning. Bina warned us beforehand about her children waking early, and I was prepared for some noise based on the reviews here. I myself am a very heavy sleeper, but I was still awoken from the noise at around 7 each morning. We could hear everything from talking to chairs moving. If you are someone who is not affected by noise or wake early than I would recommend this place based on its quality and location. However, if you are sensitive to noise or enjoy sleeping in, I would recommend looking at other places to stay.
Other than the noise, the place itself was very clean, had all amenities you could need (including a washer and dryer!) and is in a very nice neighborhood. We were able to get to a lot of really wonderful neighborhoods in just a short drive or bike ride.
Bina was a wonderful host!
