Joy was a great host. This was my first experience staying in a room within a home. I trusted the other airbnb'rs 5 star reviews and am so glad I did. The house has a simply breathtaking view of downtown and across the river. One night, I was even treated to an unexpected fireworks show out the full glass windows. The room is comfy and roomy. Joy does a great job of staying in contact and providing just enough information when you need it. By far the best host and easy check-in experience I've had on airbnb. I ended up needing a car for business and this was great to have with ample parking on the street. The neighborhood borders PSU and is close to OHSU so everything is not far. The street reminded me of being in Europe. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom and bedroom are private. I stayed 4 nights and never had the pleasure of meeting Joy. Partly because I was working and gone through the day but it was still an ode to her style - very professional.
