When choosing to stay in Portland, we always stay around SE Portland (Belmont/LaurelHurst). If you have never been to or stayed in Portland, I would highly recommend staying within this area, and with this host.
You will be perfectly located to walk to plenty of shops/eateries/etc., and only be a 10min drive to Downtown. (But just stay in SE. it’s better).
We’ve been fortune it to stay at some awesome Airbnb’s and this one is no exception! Sarah provided us with all the amenities one night need while traveling. The unit was very clean, in a newer building and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay.
Next time we visit, we will be looking for Sarah’s listings
