TLDR: We loved this place! All the attractions of Portland are easily accessible and the location itself feels just like home.

Pros:
Close to everything: The house is in a lovely neighborhood and really close to some awesome places like The Bad Habit Room and StormBreaker Brewing. Driving downtown takes no time at all and the longest we had to wait for a Lyft was 3 minutes.
Livable: My favorite way to Airbnb is to get a whole place to ourselves. Having a kitchen was a huge plus, the beds were SUPER COMFY, it was well lit, and really spacious. Our group of four people had all the room we needed.
Communication: Once we got in touch with Sara, she was really fast to send replies. I could text her, which I always prefer. Basically it's really nice to know you're talking to a human being who cares.

Cons:
Not sure if the tenants downstairs have an animal or if the folks who used the place before us kept one, but there was a faint smell of animal waste that took an evening or so to get used to.
The next con is more of a success story. When we arrived the place was recently cleaned and apparently not properly ventilated by the cleaners. I started feeling dizzy and contacted Sara. She responded within minutes, identified the cleaning products used in the home, directed me to a fan in the closet to help air the place out, and followed up with the cleaners. I was impressed by the speed of her efforts and the place was aired out by the time we got back from dinner. Winning!
