We have to agree with what some others have noted - this is probably the best airbnb we have stayed in. This is the kind of place that is often written about as being "thoughtfully appointed." A truly wonderful space with all basic needs provided for in ampleness - towels (plush!), toilet rolls, hand-soap, teas etc. Basically - no skimping on the basics as one might encounter in other places - we did not feel the need to call Zoe even once during our stay - everything seemed to be there and in place. The main room is large with a very comfortable bed, large windows and two bedside tables with lamps. There is a mini-fridge, a kettle and tea/coffee. The clothes closet has enough hangers. There are trashbins as needed. The bathroom is quite large and the towels are luxurious and plenty. There is handsoap, body lotion, room spray...the shower provides adequate hot water and the tub is clean!
The reading selection is several notches higher than the standard fare of Good Housekeeping and Home & Garden et al, with the likes of NYRB, Harper's Magazine and the New Yorker (a lowly third!) jostling for table space. As attendees at the AWP conference, we were grateful.
The location of the place is about 2 miles from downtown - which we walked twice. There is also public transport close by - which we, very uncharacteristically, did not utilize as we were pressed for time always. The neighborhood, leafy, flowery, seemed safe.
The checkin etc is an effortless affair.
All in all, this place is comfort on autopilot - everything stands and works on its own without constant banter with the host. Would love to stay here again, especially when we have some more time, and also explore Portland some more...thanks so much Zoe and Mark!
