Danielle and Khaatim were wonderful hosts--the best I've ever had through AirBnb! Danielle met me at the home to let me in and get me settled. We were welcomed with ice tea and given bath towels and shown around the home. The home was so clean and well decorated in a NW "west elm" style. Our bedroom was very nice and comfortable and located on a quiet street, so we had no issues with noise what so ever. I loved the garden outside and all the fruit trees in the yard. They have a nice outside area with chairs under a covered deck! So even when its raining, we were able to sit outdoors. Their kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances you may need to cook.

Just as Danielle described in her profile, the home is a few blocks from the best restaurants in Portland. The home is on a quiet street between SE Hawthorne and SE Division--two of the BEST walking streets in Portland. Tons of fun shops, bars, coffee shops, restaurants. I don't know why anyone would stay in downtown Portland, when you could stay where locals live. Portland is a small city, so getting downtown to visit took one quick bus ride. We walked everywhere! Even down to Salt and Straw for Ice Cream. The home is also a few blocks from our favorite market New Seasons, where we could buy breakfast and lunch foods to bring back to the home. There was room in the fridge for us to store our stuff.

Danielle and Khaatim are such sweet and kind people. They truly cared about our experience and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. I can't wait to stay here again and share this gem with my friends next time we are in town.
