If AirBnB had a category of “first class” places, this would be among them. We loved staying here for our 5-day exploration of the Portland area. Everything about this bright, spacious studio apartment is beautifully designed. Exquisite, modern carpentry, three skylights in the vaulted ceilings, lots of sunny windows, and light colors and natural wood everywhere make for a most pleasant stay. Street parking was never a problem during our 6-night stay, and access to the apartment through a gate and code-locked door was very convenient. The entire apartment is outstandingly outfitted and comfortable. The queen bed is firm, the kitchen high-top table with two chairs serves as an all-purpose eating/working location. The kitchen is extensively outfitted for any meal, including a spacious fridge (albeit without a freezer), and our hosts stocked the fridge and kitchen with a generous selection of "getting started" groceries. The studio is like a carriage house apartment, one flight above a garage/workshop, which contains a full-sized washer-dryer setup conveniently usable by guests. The beautiful bathroom is meticulously crafted in wood and tile, but was designed for smaller-framed people. The very clever, compact, low-flow shower, and the comparably compact corner sink-and-mirror were a challenge for a 6’2” XL guy, and might be impossible for anyone larger. The apartment is located in a leafy, gentrifying neighborhood of nice homes and pockets of small businesses, including several excellent restaurants and cafes - and a large “natural” foods grocery store - within easy walking distance. Portland’s outstanding bus system is just steps from the door, providing easy access to virtually everything you’d want to see and do in Portland. Our hosts, Kurt and Nathalie, were super helpful but respected our privacy. Excellent wifi worked very well through our stay. If we visit Portland again, we would certainly make this our first-choice place to stay.
