Amazing Portland Experience! I stayed with Barbara for a work conference in the city, and I am so glad I did. I had everything I could need or want from a hotel (very clean, coffee and snacks, fresh linens, even a hot tub!!) but at a much lower price. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very "Portland" - lots of greenery, friendly neighbors, and quick access to some great restaurants and bars. There is a grocery store within a three minute walk, and the city transportation has stops all over the area.
This was my first time as a guest with Airbnb, and Barbara made me feel so comfortable and welcome. She left a very helpful guidebook, with clear rules and suggestions for navigating the city and seeing the best local attractions. Barbara was very easy to communicate with, and checked in to make sure everything was going well throughout my stay, and was authentically invested in making my stay as enjoyable as possible. Whenever I return to Portland, whether for business or pleasure, Barbara's Bamboo Garden Apartment will absolutely be my first choice.
