My husband and I traveled to Portland to watch a music performance at Mississippi Studios and wanted to stay near the venue. I found Betsy and Forest's loft using the map feature. Their place is absolutely wonderful!! So warm and inviting, very clean, and lots of thought has gone into making sure that their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. The check in process was simple and Betsy and Forest were great about communicating every detail on how to gain access into the building and the loft. I loved that we were so close to many shops and restaurants but the building was so quiet and you couldn't hear the noise from the street or neighbors. My husband and I were able to walk to a restaurant for dinner, walk to Mississippi Studios for the performance and then walk back to the loft, all within minutes. Unfortunately we had to leave upruptly in the middle of the night to make the 3.5 hour drive back home because our daughter back at home was sick and grandma was taking her to the ER. I messaged Betsy and Forest to let them know we were having to leave and being that it was so late (around 11pm) I didn't expect a response, but I quickly did a response back and they were very understanding. They have also been so kind to check in with us to follow-up on how our daughter is doing (she's doing much better 😍).
This was my first experience using an Airbnb and I am so impressed. Although my husband and I didn't get the relaxing overnight trip we had expected (no fault to Betsy and Forest of course) we really hope to come back again so we can get some well deserved R&R. I will look forward to next time being able to sit out on that adorable balcony to drink my morning coffee. I highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed and you won't want to leave.
