I recently stayed in David's space while in Portland on a girls' getaway with my best friend. As first time Airbnb travelers, we were initially a bit nervous about the experience, but everything about our stay was perfect. The space is clean, comfortable, private, and spacious enough for 2-4 travelers. The futon and bed were both cozy, and David provided extra blankets and pillows. While unconventional perhaps, having the kitchenette and bathroom in the same room actually was convenient, and there are privacy curtains around the shower/commode area. David clearly puts a lot of thought into making his guests feel at home, offering everything from ear plugs (not needed, as the space was quiet) to tea/coffee; from laundry to wine and chocolates.
Location wise, the home is within walking distance to Alberta Street and Mississippi Avenue, making it easy to enjoy the many amazing restaurants and night life. We felt safe walking in the area at night. Parking was plentiful on the street, and the home's private entrance felt safe and secure. David was available via text to offer suggestions and answer questions, but he did not encroach on our space, and we actually never met him in person because we were so busy enjoying the city. We'd highly recommend David's space to anyone!
