Dan and Jackie are great hosts. We were in town for a music documentary and upon our arrival there was a personalized welcome message along with the band’s music playing. They also had some snacks and drinks for us to enjoy.
The Laurel is in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. About a 15 minute walk to the metro stop and very close to other transit stops that take you 15 minutes in the downtown area.
The Laurel makes you feel like you’re staying at a hotel but the hosts make you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s house. It was the perfect balance and made for a great experience on our first trip to Portland.
