Staying with Colleen and Ken was an absolute joy. They were so incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful during our 6-week stay in Portland. The unit was clearly well cared-for and a great deal of thought has been put into making their guests’ stay as comfortable as can be. This was hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The night we drove in, we got stuck in the snow two yards from the driveway. Ken grabbed a shovel immediately and helped dig us out. When an area-wide power outage left us in the dark for a day and a half, they gave us candles and offered to bring us board games to pass the time. They even purchased a wifi booster to strengthen our connectivity, as both of us were working remotely from PDX. We truly felt cared-for as their guests.
The unit is a fully built-out basement apartment, but it gets a nice amount of light, which was a welcome surprise. The kitchen came stocked with a selection of cookware, a coffee maker (we used this well), a water boiler, and a colander; we had everything we needed for an extended stay. Cozy blankets and pillows abound, and every amenity you can think of was provided for.
If we’re fortunate enough to visit Portland again, we’ll unquestionably be looking to see if Colleen and Ken’s exquisite little oasis is available.
