Stop looking and stay here! This was the best Airbnb experience I've ever had.
In our search to find a weekend in Portland for my brother's wedding, I accidentally forgot to hit entire apartment in my filters and Michael and Sasha's place came up. I'm so glad I forgot to click that option.
This was an above and beyond experience. I was a little hesitant to stay in a shared space, but this was like staying an upscale, impeccably clean, cozy hotel! The space is nicely separated so you definitely have a lot of privacy. Michael and Sasha are intuitive, gracious, and so knowledgable. They also are good energy readers and you can really choose your level of interaction.
My boyfriend and I arrived incredibly late because of a flight delay and it was such a relief that they helped my 70 year old mom get settled into the house (even messaged me an update that she arrived <3); and after such a long flight it was so nice to jump into cool, fresh sheets in such a clean bedroom. It felt like a chic hotel!
We had a few unexpected things happen during our trip and Sasha and Michael were so kind to step in and offer help. My mom needed to make a quick trip to an urgent care (nothing too serious) and Sasha grabbed his car keys and we were off! Less importantly, my hair was a hot mess the morning of my brother's wedding. Enter Sasha and 20 minutes later I have a new hair style. WHAT?! Amazing! I'm not saying this will come with every stay as I was in certain state of bridal party panic, but, like I said, you can choose your level of interaction. They are respectful and clearly have a knowledge of high end hospitality. They also are unique, kind, and generous humans and their home reflects that as well.
I will definitely be staying here again. Perks: excellent espresso in the a.m.- yum yum; AWESOME backyard area with hot tub (this was possibly my fav); clean, beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms; the massage chair (press relaxation mode!); sweet downstairs area- we ordered thai and had a couple bottles of wine one night and put on a movie- it was just perfect after long day with family; Wiley- the cat that will steal your heart.
Thank you Sasha, Michael, and Wiley!!!
