This is the best Airbnb location I've stayed at thus far.
Aysha is a lovely host. She's quick to answer questions and help out if you need anything.
The basement apartment is awesome. The space is clean and relaxing after a day of hiking and adventuring. The apartment has its own key for your privacy and the entrance to the home is accessed via keypad. Aysha's super-sweet cat likes to "guard" the entryway to the house. Don't hit him with the door when you open it.
Alberta Arts District is a few blocks away. It's easily walkable and has a number of shops and yummy places to eat. You'll probably want to take a car-share, bus, or bike if you want to go to other parts of Portland.
