I am a seasoned Airbnb guest and I can say without hesitation that staying with Deanna was the best experience I’ve ever had!! Her cute, well-appointed home is close to EVERYTHING and she was just the most helpful and generous of hosts.
I loved hanging out in her private and peaceful backyard (she has the coolest fountain and claw tub to help you relax) It was hard to believe I was in the city!
The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet with so much to do within walking distance. She is also only 10 minutes to downtown and I never had to get on the highway (A HUGE plus when you have meetings or touring and can detour from the I-5) She is only 2 blocks from the busline, and the MAX can take you to the Rose Garden (my favorite) and the zoo. I also took a quick trip downtown on Max to explore Powell's City of Books, Portland Art Museum and had dinner at Bluehour Restaurant in the Pearl (Deanna’s great recommendation)
From her house we walked to Lombard food cart pod for dinner, listened to live music and sat at the beer porch, We also had a movie night at St. Johns Cinema and enjoyed local pizza and beer while we watched. There are so many things like that to do and take advantage of within a short distance from the house.
Best of all Deanna offered as much privacy as I wanted but I enjoyed having coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening with her and Cory. Socializing with the hosts made my visit special and I am looking forward to booking another trip soon to Portland and taking advantage of being able to check a few more things off my list! (Deanna grew up in Oregon and her knowledge is vast when it comes to exploring!
I would highly recommend staying with Deanna! It truly was the best Airbnb experience I’ve had and will be impossible to top!
Thankyou Deanna for everything!
