Great experience! The home was immaculate and pretty. The photos are spot on. The location was great: we had a rental car and were able to get everywhere with ease, the neighborhood felt safe, and one of the nice neighbors even said hi.

The door code made it easy since we didn't get in until after midnight. Using a code lock instead of keys is a small, but thoughtful example of how a lot of work was put into making the stay awesome.

The kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. I definitely got some ideas for my own kitchen from it... it's super pretty and the lighting work was spot on.

There were plenty of towels and cleaning supplies for cleaning up after ourselves and getting our laundry done before leaving.

A couple of things to remember... The floors have creaky spots, which is to be expected in older houses (which we're told this one is). After exploring Portland more, I'm guessing most homes here have creaky floors since most are older and not built on slabs like other parts of the country. There's also only one bathroom, so be sure to time yourselves accordingly in the morning. Finally, the front rooms don't have blinds, which might be a Portland thing because I saw that in several houses around the city. No big deal for us.

This was a first-time airbnb experience for a group of five and we loved it. A+ place and host service, would recommend to others.
