Gina goes above and beyond as a host. She made me feel welcome in her home yet allowed for privacy. She offered me many tips on Portland. I felt she really valued the exchange Airbnb offers and genuinely cared for my experience. We spent some time talking and it felt like hanging out with an old friend. Also, because Gina is an avid traveler, she is paid attention to the little things. For example, before I left she asked if I had reading material and food for the plane. Very thoughtful!

London Bridges is an adorable and well-mannered doggie. He is affectionate but will also leave you be, if that's what you wish.

The listing is as described, the only difference is the living room has been painted and there's a new decor. I feel the house is brighter than the internet images. The room is super cute with large windows and lots of natural light.

I had a car while staying at Gina's. I had no trouble finding free parking close to her home. Multnomah Village is in walking distance from her house. It has cute shops and definitely a small town feel. If you are looking to for a local experience, I highly recommend the Village Coffee, it is full of an eclectic crew of regulars.

I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend staying with Gina and London Bridges.
