Carissa and her place are both very rare finds on AirBnb today. Her hospitality is first-rate and unmatched. Her cottage made us feel like we stepped into something seen on HGTV. Extremely cute and absolutely handcrafted like we have never seen--Einstein lights and all. The clean, neat, and well-appointed cottage was ideal for our short visit in Portland. Easy access to the freeway, parking on site, and located in a nice part of town. We slept very well on the quiet street, on a comfortable mattress, and kept warm with the soft sheets. The kitchenette was also quite useful for warming up leftovers and putting on a pot of tea in the evenings. We had everything we needed. The fresh flowers were a very nice, personal touch. Highly recommend staying at Carissa's if you are fortunate enough to find your dates available.
