We’ve used Airbnb for many years but had never stayed in a room with shared common space. I’ve always rented the ‘entire place’ before.
We couldn’t have wished for a better first experience of renting a room. Kal has exquisite taste and was so welcoming and accommodating. His home is beautifully laid out, simplistic and tasteful decor. It was a very homely and welcoming stay.
Kal greeted us on arrival, sharing useful info on the local area. We asked lots of questions and he was keen to ensure we made the most of our time in Portland, helping us choose the best spots to explore.
Our room was very spacious and so comfortable. We had a great few nights sleep as the street is quiet. The only thing that woke me were the birds chirping in the morning and that was just lovely. It’s still a short walk to a lively main street though!
The bathroom and kitchen were so lovely and immaculately clean. Even though all rooms were booked out, the common spaces are so large it never felt crowded at all. If anything, during our stay we felt almost like we had the place to ourselves.
Kal’s home is in a perfect location. Just a few minutes walk to SE Division St - hosting a large number of shops, cafes, breweries and trendy bars. I even popped to Yoga in the morning as Kal had a free pass. It was a perfect location for us, it’s a very trendy hipster city!
We hope to stay at Kal’s again, it was a wonderful experience.
Thanks
