This was my boyfriend and I's first trip to OR. Out of all the places we have stayed through Airbnb we really loved staying at Ali and Steve's the most! We took a cab to the house fro mthe airport becasue we were tired after flying from the East Coast, the cab ride was short and $12. Ali greeted us at the door, showed us around her beautiful home, introduced us to her kitties, and made us feel welcomed. The private area was the whole upstairs with gorgeous hardwood floors, 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom had a very comfortable bed & bedding, a kitchen area with a mini fridge, and a bathroom. The neighboorhood is so quant; wild flowers planted along the sidewalks. And the location is very close to Alberta Street with places to eat and see a band (including vegetarian options). The bus to the downtown area is close by as well, runs perhaps every 20 minutes. There is a movie theater down the street, Kennedy school, that is $3 and you can order beer, that was def a cool spot. Everyone is friendly, and welcoming. I would stay with Ali and Steve again if we go back the place is better than the pictures!
