I visit Portland at least once a year. Elsa's home was perfect for this visit. There was only 1 listing that was slightly less expensive than hers, but the difference with Elsa's BnB is that you are allowed to use the kitchen or hang in the common areas. We didn't end up using the kitchen but it was nice to feel welcomed to do so.
Elsa sent very clear and detailed instructions regarding check-in, wifi, and laundry, it made for super easy check-in. She also sent some awesome recommendations for nearby bars, breweries, restaurants, and sightseeing.
The place was very clean, the room was comfy, and the shower was great too. The room had a thermostat as well which was nice that we could control the temp. You cannot beat the location. So close to Alberta, Williams, and Mississippi. I would definitely stay here again. You won't find a better value, trust me, I've looked.
