This was my first time using Air B & B. I was somewhat hesitant, but my travel partner encouraged me so we did it and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I can understand why Air B & B would be preferable to a hotel because in this experience, it felt very home-y (being in a neighborhood, being able to heat up food, etc.) without feeling like we were staying in someone else's home.

Deborah and Ludger were friendly, professional, reliable and communicative. Even though I wasn't familiar with Air B & B protocol, I somehow felt extremely safe and comfortable with them. From prior to booking, before arrival, during the trip and upon departure, they were always quick to respond to any questions/concerns I had and made accommodations accordingly for our specific situation, which we greatly appreciated!

The place was as described and really inviting and relaxing. The location was wonderful too - quiet, yet walkable to cafes/bars/restaurants, bus stop, etc. Everything was set up for what we would need including a welcome book with helpful information, menus, maps, etc., a journal from past visitors, pamphlets/brochures, etc. There was also tea and amenities in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom (such as heater, extra blankets, etc.).

If/when I return to Portland, I would love to stay at this same location again. I'm so grateful to have had a truly wonderful first experience, especially given my nervous-ness of trying an Air B & B.
