This place has an awesome location and the fit may be perfect for the right kind of guest. Our host was super nice, but it also felt a bit too close to staying in her space, so we were a bit worried about the kids lossing something under the bed and ending up in the middle of her things. I think this place would work best for a couple w/o kids or a family who was less worried about messing with the owners stuff.

I would also say that the house is not well equipped to deal with the heat we had - no AC, the windows in the bedroom did not open, and the cool iron screen door in front could not be locked, so it was difficult to circulate enough air in the house at night to keep it cool enough to sleep. In truth, the chance of another guest getting that kind of head is pretty low in portland. Overall, the place is cozy, everything worked well, and it has a great spot, close to all sorts of great stuff.

Overall, not a bad first AirBnB for us.
