I can’t praise this apartment or host enough. The apartment is gorgeous, serene, comfortable, well-stocked & clean. Did I say clean?! I deeply appreciated the efforts the host makes to address the needs of people with sensitivities & allergies: no perfumed or heavily-scented cleaning products used, allergen-free bedding, and so on. Vivian is kind, friendly, efficient & well-organized and gives you plenty of space and privacy while responding quickly to questions. As for the adorable pup, I only saw him once and briefly during my multiple-day stay and never heard a bark. I’m definitely coming back to Vivian’s the next time I’m in Portland.
