My wife and I are very new to Airbnb experience. In fact, Handmade Haven hosted by Had is the first Airbnb lodging experience. ... and we must say from the bottom of our heart that our experience there was one of the finest that we have had in Portland, OR area in the past 27 years. My wife and I travel a lot. I am now a house husband and my wife’s work allows her to take 12-15 weeks vacation per year. So you can imagine how much away from home lodging experience that we have had in the past 15 years of our life. One university study that I read in the late 1980s indicated that there are 2 types of people on this earth: Type 1 - those who experience energy restoration by going to lively, noisy environment like concerts, dancing, partying, sporting events, etc. while there are those called Type 2 - who must retreat to a very quiet place to get charged up and experience restoration. As we age, we have been finding out more and more that my wife and I are definitely type 2 individuals who need quiet place to experience regeneration and restoration of our souls. This is why, especially, in the past several years, we have been avoiding motels and hotels built in the cities, especially along the loud freeways when we come down to Portland, OR area. We have been either booking condos or exchanging our timeshare points into timeshare resorts in Welches, OR near Mt Hood located 45 minutes away from the city of Portland where we engage in tax free shopping throughout the day. One problem of this life style is that we get so tired of walking at the end of the day only to realize that our sleeping quarter is located 45+ minutes away in the mountains. We decided to try Handmade Haven hosted by Had because others who stayed there wrote that it was a very quiet place. We were a bit skeptical at first because Had’s studio unit was located very close to noisy cities. In fact, if you look at the map, it is located in the midst of the city blocks and you would never imagine that there is such a quiet place. Upon arrival, we were so shocked how quiet the area was. In fact, it is indeed quieter than Welches, OR where mountain homes and condos are built. You don’t even hear the resort maintenance noise of noisy lawn mowers or snow blower noise. On top of this surprising experience, Had’s studio unit is so artistically decorated for contemporary living that it carries the spirit of penthouse living at its best feeling. You are going to love that rain shower shower head experience, reminiscent of high end Atlantic City casino hotel where we stayed once. Had’s kitchen is so well stuffed with so many dishes and bowls, cooking utensils and pots & pans that it far exceeds what is offered by...
