Danielle was a great host. We had to change our plans after our initial booking, and she was more than accommodating. We were arriving late on our check in date, and she waited until we arrived to greet us, and show us how to use the key code. The apartment was fantastic. She had recently renovated the space, and sent me a message to see the updated pictures when it was completed. It was warm, cozy, and clean. The bed is super comfortable! It was just what we needed after a long flight from NJ, walking around Seattle, and then a drive to Portland.
The neighborhood is a quaint suburban area, that is within walking distance to all the great stuff on SE Division St., and SE Hawthorne. Added bonus is that there is Stumptown Coffee Roasters down at the end of the block, and a really great place for breakfast. Petit Provence.
Danielle was always quick to respond to my questions and messages. She really helped us out on the last day of our trip. We had a Red Eye flight Sunday night, and she let us keep our luggage at her property so we could explore the SE area by foot, without having to roll our bags all over, and in and out of stores. I don't think we would have been able to walk the eight miles we did that day without her doing that for us.
We recommended this property to our friends that live in Portland. We told them that if they have people coming to visit, they should definitely keep this as an option. The price, location, and host, make a no brainer.
