Wish I could have stayed longer!
My week-long trip to Portland was work-related, but I was determined to turn it into a mini-vacation. Thanks to this gorgeous, upscale rental with its gourmet kitchen and elegant décor, I was able to work and relax.
The loft is located in a historic tree-lined neighborhood that is near a hand-full of parks, with plenty of open space for long walks and runs. Seriously beautiful.
Cooking and ingredient foodies, like me, will appreciate the gourmet, well-stocked kitchen with great appliances, including pots & pans, sharp knives, spices, olive oil and storage containers (which is rare). The Keurig coffee machine was a nice touch.
Here are my notes:
-	Beautiful, light-filled, inspiring space. The AirBNB pics are accurate :)
-	Rhonda and Bryan are great hosts. Responsive and attentive!
-	Parking is free, easy and there is plenty of it.
-	Gorgeous, quiet, family-oriented neighborhood.
-	There are stairs involved with accessing the loft, so if you have mobility issues, keep this in mind.
-	The bed is comfy and hard to leave. Lots of extra blankets if needed.
-	Washer and dryer available (I didn’t use either, but it was cool to have the option).
-	Wi-Fi, air conditioning and cable TV are all awesome.
-	Two great grocery stores are a 5-minute car ride away. Safeway, which has all the basics and New Seasons Market, a more upscale store with lots of good, local, food.
-	Portland Fish Market is a few stores down from New Seasons Market and has incredible seasonal fish, wine and spices.
Looking forward to my next trip to Portland, and fingers crossed that this space will be available!
