My friend and I went on a road trip up to Portland from the Bay Area, California. Hotels were ridiculously expensive but then we found Malika & Ians place which was reasonably priced, looked gorgeous and was central to all the goodies Portland had to offer. Malika was extremely responsive and even followed up on us during the stay, as well as recommended us a lot of great places around town to check out. We enjoyed all of the recommendations. We checked in with Ian when we arrived and he's such a fun bubbly guy. We all took shots of gin after the tour he gave us of the place! How much more hospitable can any hosts get? The place came with access to a cute kitchen, backyard, and living area. The bathroom has a built in Bluetooth speaker on the ceiling! The color scheme of the place was relaxing and zen. The backyard was so cute and the bed was comfy after being on our feet all day exploring town. Privacy was great, we weren't bugged or complained about. I would definitely stay here again. What a treat! thank you Malika and Ian. This place is a hit!!
