Kal's space might be the most elegant and comfortable I've been in since I've used Airbnb. The living room was airy, minimalist and inviting. He provided snacks for guests in the fridge in a marked shelf, along with coffee and tea. The bathroom was immaculate. And I haven't even gotten to my bedroom. Bed was comfy, had an adjustable heated mattress, a nice space heater, slippers and a plush white robe. When I asked Kal if he had a white noise machine (which I figured was a long-shot) he let me use his Alexa! I was in Portland for an event, and let me tell you, I slept like a baby the night before. It's in walking distance to amazing restaurants, cafes, bookstores and shopping. The only downside, and I'm sure Kal will have this sorted by the next round of guests, was a snafu around the app-enabled door lock. There were a few times we were on the porch not able to get in because of issues — but Kal was immediately reachable by phone to remedy it. Other than that, Kal is really nice and easy to talk to and I highly recommend the room and house and host. I would definitely stay here again.
