Alex was great! He made sure we got in okay and were comfortable. The house is gorgeous and exactly as depicted. We have some great photos of our group out front. =) The inside was just as lovely. The bed we slept in, according to my boyfriend, was "the most comfortable bed he's ever slept in". The small downsides of staying in a historical building were expected (creaky floors, thin walls / windows, and it took awhile to get hot water), but still totally worth it. The neighborhood was quiet, safe and convenient to every place we wanted to go. I would absolutely recommend Alex and this Airbnb to anyone traveling to Portland!
