My husband and I stayed three nights here with his mother and grandmother and everything about the experience was perfect. Parking and check-in could not have been simpler and communication was top notch. The view north from the expansive balcony was breathtaking and surpassed our expectation. My husband's cousin, wife, and their six-year-old stopped by for a few hours too, and there was plenty of dining, lounging and pillow fort-building space for all. The Duraflame log in the fireplace, the board games, the fresh eggs and so much more were really wonderful atmospheric and practical touches, and it's hard to imagine how our Portland experience could have been any better. I even ordered a set of ceramic knives after being so impressed by the ones in the kitchen! All of our future AirBnb experiences will be measured against The Flying Whale. :)
