Ok, where do I begin? My husband and I had an amazing stay in Aysha and Heidi's apartment.

Before we arrived in Portland:

Within moments of placing our reservation we received a confirmation from Aysha accepting our request. Seeing how this was our first time in Portland, we had tons of questions about public transportation, need for car rental, etc. Aysha was extremely helpful and offered tons of resources. I told Aysha that our plane got in before the allotted check-in time, and they had no issue with us coming in a little early.

Arrival to Portland:

Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to meet Aysha face-to-face, but Heidi was a most gracious host. **Note: When staying with them use the TriMet transportation system as there is a stop directly across from the apartment if you decide not to rent a car** Heidi walked us through check-in, and we were blown away at how spacious, clean, modern, and accommodating the space was. They have taken such care to make this space feel like home. It literally looks just like the pictures provided. I have NO negative comments or complaints about the living space.

The neighborhood:

We quickly found out that each little community in Portland has its own personality and it feels like several small towns inside of the city. The Alberta Arts District is no different. Walk up one block and you will find tons of food options. Go to "The Bye and Bye" bar/restaurant, it will bless your soul, trust me on this one. In the opposite direction of the Alberta Arts District you will find a Whole foods as well if you decide to cook.

Moral of the story:

Stay with Aysha and Heidi you will not be disappointed!
