My first experience with Airbnb was amazing. As with all first times there was excitement with some nervousness. Kara's place was inspired. Better then the pictures and the pictures are great. So comfortable too. Very well thought out. Many details that include decorative hooks to artistic coffee cups. It felt like I was on a treasure hunt. The fireplace/heating system with remote control is genius. The bed was so cosy and the book shelve divider made the room flow and feel bigger. It is the basement yet was sooo light and airy. I came to Portland to walk around but could have stayed curled up in there and been just as happy. Great neighborhood. I walked to Pips Donuts and ordered, cooked while you wait, the best donuts ever. Then crossed street to home made bakery for coffee lingered at a wonderful used treasures store. Then dinner at SmallWares. Amazing asian flavors and cocktails finishing with Miso ice cream. I walked back to a full moon and misty sky and couldn't resist. I stopped at Peters Bar for best Patty Melt ever. I know. A lot in a few hours but I was on vacation. Kara is a wonderful host I felt very cared for yet very private. All my needs were taken care of ASAP. I will end with ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I look forward to coming back now to stay at Kara's. If more people put the loving beautiful inspired care into their work as Kara has the World will be a much better world. I recommend her place go see for yourself, and make sure Pips Donuts tops off your experience!
