Ludger and Deborah were great hosts! Very welcoming, and having our own entrance and apartment made coming and going very easy, so as to not disturb our hosts. They stocked the apt with all the amenities we might need, shower toiletries, tea and coffee, britta for filtered water, etc. The apt was a block away from the bus that took us in either direction we might want to go. Traveling around Portland was so easy! We felt safe in the neighborhood and it was walking distance to some of our favorite places we encountered: Mississippi Ave and Alberta. A new grocery store down the street was also very convenient! We also thought the bed was really comfortable :) Our hosts gave us great advice on getting around in the city and a great hike we got to from bus! Being from LA it's so nice to be around a great public transportation system :) We greatly enjoyed our stay and will be back again ASAP! And we'd definitely stay with Ludger and Deborah again! Way better than a hotel! Such a great first air b n b experience!
