Fantastic host! From start to finish, staying at Noel's home was just delightful. You can tell even from his listing and the welcome message he sent after we booked his place that he is extremely kind and attentive, and this shone through throughout our stay with him. His place is very well-located and excellent value for exploring Portland (only ten minutes' drive away) and the surrounding region. The bedroom and bathroom are extremely clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the kitchen is well-equipped. There is car parking available in the driveway, and the WiFi is very strong. Above all, Noel's hospitality really shone through - from the incredible home-made waffles he kindly offered for breakfast (without a doubt some of the best waffles we've ever had) to the extremely comprehensive, user-friendly guide with plenty of helpful restaurant and visiting tips. Good guests often make good hosts, and you can really tell that Noel has gone to great lengths to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay through lots of little touches that make a difference (plenty of plugpoints, and nice, fluffy bathrobes). We very much enjoyed chatting with Noel; he is extremely friendly, generous, and giving, and really makes you try to feel at home. That said, he also gives you plenty of space if you want to do your own thing. Hosts like Noel really exemplify the spirit of Airbnb, and, if you're visiting Portland (or even if you aren't), we can't recommend his place enough.
