This month, my husband and I traveled to the Pacific Northwest for the time, and this was our first experience utilizing Airbnb. Katrina was friendly and very easy to communicate with during the whole process! The listing and the images portray the apartment accurately, and we loved how easy it was to access the apartment. Everything was clean, cozy and they made great use of the windows and mirrors to create such beautiful light for being a basement apartment. We loved the spa-like shower, and we had no problems sleeping as it was pretty quiet. Coffee, tea and juice were provided as well as some basic toiletries. I was very grateful for the hairdryer!

We loved the neighborhood of Hosford-Abernethy in Southeast Portland. There are a lot of restaurants, cafes and breweries within walking distance. There is a bus stop right around the corner from the apartment, and downtown is about a 20 minute bus ride on the #4.

If it's your first time in Portland, I highly recommend Pine State Biscuits (about a block or so around the corner) for a delicious brunch or lunch, and make sure to stop in at Salt & Straw (a mile down Division St.) for some yummy ice cream! If you're familiar with Jeni's ice creams, it's very similar!

Great apartment, great location! Thank you, Katrina, for your hospitality and a lovely first Airbnb experience.
