We had a great stay with Lori and Alisha, and would gladly stay again. The basement suite is just as pictured and described, complete with a very comfortable bed. Everything is spotless, and from the back entry you can walk straight downstairs if you prefer your privacy. Having a private bathroom and living room is a nice added bonus! The neighborhood is quiet and there is a park a block away, so walking the dog was very easy.

There is a Starbucks within easy walking distance (maybe 3 minutes). I saw a bus stop about half a block away, but we had our car, so didn't use public transportation. By car, nothing in Portland is more than 15 minutes away.

Lori and Alisha couldn't have been more welcoming! I had anticipated a little awkwardness (this was our first airbnb experience) but they made us feel welcome right away. We are familiar with Portland so we didn't take advantage of their knowledge of the town, but they are happy to make recommendations. Both ladies are quite friendly, interesting and easy to talk to. Their 2 dogs are well behaved sweethearts who only came downstairs when we called them.
