Master suite is an understatement.....this was like having our own private one bedroom apartment. The space, decor, lighting, numerous windows with gorgeous views (the view from my side of the bed was of a swing covered in foliage right out of the secret garden), the unique vintage built-ins, rare vintage furnishings, offering of books, snacks, drinks, mini kitchen including the essentials PLUS extras such as electric kettle, wine opener and toaster, TONS of storage space for clothes, luggage, bathroom items, the coolest bathroom I have ever seen with great lighting (perfect for primping) lots of mirrors to see every angle, 2 sinks, an oversized tub area and separate, huge lighted shower with artistic vintage door that had the best water pressure (I wish I had at home), PLUS a separate dressing area right out of an old movie with a giant walk-in closet equipped with wooden hangers and more shelves and drawers, the comfort, ease of use, abundant parking right outside our door, no steps to drag our luggage, just wheeled it right in, the perfect location close to eateries, coffee houses, shops, the beauty from all directions, gorgeous neighborhood, walkability, bikeability with the well known Springwater Corridor and Reed College within walking distance, the overall feel of the place were all so AMAZING!! Frankly I wish I was a better writer to describe how WONDERFUL our experience was. We literally had a mood slump upon leaving. We'll be back!

Communication from booking to arrival was easy, fluid and helpful with immediate responses to email or text. Janet and Darrell facilitated our late arrival time with perfect instructions on finding their gorgeous house among all the other gorgeous houses in this high end, quiet, old, pristine, neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood where I would feel like I won the lottery to live in any of the homes.

We were met by Darrell who gave us a few tips on our accommodations and the surrounding area. some funny and intelligent conversation, then.....just as we wanted.....we were left on our own to experience our lovely residence and the wonders of Portland. We knew if we had any questions or concerns that Darrell or Janet were either next door in the main house or a text away. Honestly as 2 middle aged women escaping our hectic careers and families we were looking for time to ourselves in beautiful, comfortable surroundings and that's exactly what we got.

On some level I regret writing this review as I fear that others will book it up and it won't be available for my next trip or Janet and Darrell will increase the price. However we felt so great about our stay....we wanted to brag to the world about our first AirBnB experience. We just hoping our husbands don't see this and want to join us next time :)
