As a frequent traveler and long time user of AirBnB, I know when I am staying in a special place. Building on the other reviews (yes, what they say is all true), it was the special touches to enhance guests' experiences that stood out during the stay. From the ease of check-in & check-out, through the artistic and creative expressions everywhere, to the necessary items that are not found in all rental places. There is a grinder for fresh coffee beans, a variety of wooden hangers, original oil paintings by local artist Kivett, wood counter tops, cheerful lights strung around a ceiling to brighten a winter's day, a marble rolling pin, plants in surprising spaces, interesting & colorful small art objects, neat & well stocked kitchen drawers..I could go on. I have photos to post. Kivett and Jen are clearly dedicated to ensuring guests have a pleasant experience. Even the notes posted for guests are positive and on artistic note paper. There are no "NO" notes. Only notes to ensure you have a great visit. I will definitely stay there anytime it is available when I'm in Portland.
