Barbara met us upon arrival and explained how everything worked. She was easy to talk to and very laid back. The beds were comfortable and we had on street parking. Although air conditioning was available, it wasn't needed since the windows provide wonderful cross ventilation. The neighborhood is quiet (except for the neighbors rooster) and beautiful. We ate a several close eateries, all very good. Barbara provided a comprehensive notebook with recommendations for places to eat. This was my first AirBnB stay and has set my expectations very high. It was a fun stay in Portland and Barbara is a great host.
