This was our first Airbnb experience. We visited Portland at the last minute and Jennifer was gracious in navigating me through the Airbnb communication process and was able to accommodate a request for me. We didn’t interact a lot with Jennifer, but when we did, we found her to be a very warm person. When asked, she gave us some ideas on where to go and places to dine.
I am a very visual person and immediately fell in love with the photographs of this space and was looking forward to seeing it in person! Another guest described this home and grounds as being a “little rougher around the edges than the photos”, which I feel is accurate. Some of the beautiful pieces have been replaced, including in our room, which made it aesthetically different. Nonetheless, the bed was comfortable and the space was peaceful and functional. I found it more a place to rest than a place to chill for the weekend.
The location seemed for us close enough to get here and there by car, even though we didn’t know the city well. We loved the Alberta area where the home is located, especially Salt and Straw (ice cream), Pine State Biscuits and Miss Zumstein Bakery and Coffee Shop (which was right around the corner from the house).
