Alex's place is HUGE, and we enjoyed all 2,000 square feet on the entire top floor of a large home. It's located in a beautiful and historic neighborhood surrounded by other gorgeous houses. We liked taking walks along the tree-lined streets nearby, but also appreciated being only a 10-minute drive from most of the Portland places we wanted to visit.
Alex is a great host. It's easy to reach him if you need to because he lives in the downstairs unit. He shared his cell phone with us in case we needed anything and always responded quickly through the messaging system on the AirBnB app.
