This was our first experience of using airbnb to find holiday accommodation, and we were not disappointed.
Initially our host, Brad, was not at home but by the time we and figured out where he had hidden the key he had arrived to greet us. The house is a wonderful old building where every step you take the wooden floor and stairs creak and groan! Our room was clean and well appointed with a shared bathroom right next door. It was all we needed for our exploration of Portland.
The local area is a tree lined suburb and is very quiet. A very lovely part of Portland. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. If you stay here (and you should) be sure to take breakfast at the Cadillac. It's round the corner on the same block!
Within a few minutes walk there are plenty of bus services to take you downtown which only takes a few minutes and it is a frequent service.
We found it to be an excellent choice of accommodation for our exploration of the Portland scene. Brad was a good conversationalist and interested in our Brewpub stories even taking us out to a couple one evening!
Visiting Portland? You won't find much better than this !
