We were moving into Portland and didn't know our way around - we needed time to scope out the city. We were looking for a better, more affordable option than a hotel, and tried AirBNB for the first time. Colleen was awesome, making us feel welcome before we had even arrived. We ended up staying here for a month as we got our bearings. The house itself is clean, safe and private, and very cozy. You don't really need a car, as bus lines and Woodstock street shopping (all the day-to-day groceries, clothes and other supplies you'll need) are close by. We recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in Portland for a bit.
