Took both mine and my husband's parents to Portland for a weekend getaway. They never stayed at an Airbnb before. Kurt's place defitnely gave them a good impression and would allow them to do more affordable and unique travelling with us!
The place itself located in a very convenient area between airport and the heart of Portland. It's a distance but not far away from all the good foods and shopping places. During our stay in town, we pretty much walked to breakfast and dinner daily. And they're only 10 mins walk from the Salt and Straw!! Its also close to major highway, very easy to get around to the famous Columbia river/waterfalls area.
The place got everything we needed. We were able to grubhub some dinner and plated them in a nice way with the dinning wares. Parents loved the relaxing vibe in the house after a long day out in town. Hot shower, nice beds, and good air flow gave us good nights of sleep and always recharged us for the next day. Decors were modern, nature or rather outdoorsy inspired, would definitely make you feel lively.
Instead of spending you time in the hotel and get no chance to see what the locals see, I'd highly recommend this place for whoever is planning for a trip to Portland. This place is just like what Portland represents: friendly, loving, inspiring.
