This was my first experience with airbnb so naturally I was a little wary of what I might be getting into. My biggest concern was cleanliness, but I need not have worried about Ali and David's place... It was exceptionally clean and comfortable! This was also my first trip to Portland and Ali and David were extremely helpful in sharing their knowledge of the area. They even took the time upon our late arrival to find a nearby restaurant that was still serving food while we freshened up from our long trip! This is a perfect neighborhood to experience Portland the way I wanted to, which is the way a local would. An added bonus: the bikes provided to get around town! I was also a little concerned about the shared entrance but Ali and David were very easygoing about this and weren't awakened even though we came home late at night! I would definitely recommend this spot to a friend.. thanks Ali and David!
