My 4-night stay at St. John's Farmhouse was one of the most memorable Airbnb experiences I've had to date. While there was much to appreciate about the accommodations, location, and amenities, what made it fantastic for me was Lori, herself. Her warm, easy-going and down-to-earth demeanor made me feel right at home throughout my entire stay. She was flexible with my arrival and departure times, and graciously accommodated when I asked to stay an extra day at the last-minute. The home was cozy and inviting, with a lot of personal charm and history. All the common areas are open to guest use, with plenty of fridge space provided for food/grocery storage, if needed. The room was as described and the bed, comfortable and perfectly firm. A portable heater is provided for those extra chilly nights but I found it warm enough without it. Bathroom use was never an issue (and those warm showers were wonderful after a long day of gallivanting). The level of interaction is up to you, though I greatly enjoyed conversing with Lori before and after my adventures for the day. She's a pleasure to talk to, has a great sense of humor, and can offer some pretty good suggestions on things to do and places to see. It felt like chatting with an old friend. Her cat, Racer, is equally kind and welcoming! The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, and there are plenty of places close by to eat, grab groceries, and explore. I never had to drive any longer than 15-20 minutes to get downtown and to other interesting districts of Portland. Forest Park is just on the other side of the bridge. If you're looking for a clean, cozy place to stay in the Portland area with a warm and caring host, I highly recommend booking with Lori. I look forward to staying again!
