This AirBnB location and hosting was more than I expected. I could *live* in a place like this. It's in a great location near the intersection of Caesar Chavez and Powell. There's a nearby Safeway if you want to stock up on things for the fridge. The kitchen was great, with a wonderful modern stove and just enough and just the right amenities. The Hosts had not overlooked anything to make a stay a comfortable one in the perfectly little cozy apartment in the basement of their house. And this had no "basement" feeling, but more of an intimate little pied a terre.

The apartment was clean, well organized, and perfect for a single traveler or couple. It was an exquisite little escape and just perfect for me, as my son and his family live nearby and it was easy to navigate around the city and to great places like Powell's and elsewhere.

The apartment is immaculate, well equipped, quiet and private. Grace was out of town but Martin intercepted me as I drove up and was absolutely gracious.

This little apartment is that the top of my list for those occasions when I come in to Portland and won't be staying with family.

Martin, thank you! Hope to see you on a future trip.
