Carl is an absolutely amazing host! We had a fabulous time staying at her place -- she has thought of every possible detail-- truly the bar for a perfectly appointed AirBnB (there is a reason she is a super host!). The space is stylish and while the location might detract for some as it is in St. John's, we loved it. Carla had fabulous tips for local experiences as well as what to see in other areas of Portland. Uber/Lyft were easy and relatively inexpensive and we felt we were able to experience 'real' Portland. We will definitely try to stay here next time we visit Portland.
