Noel's place was conveniently located, just about a block from the bus line, and a few minute/dollar Lyft/Uber into town. Noel went above and beyond to help us make the most out of our short time in Portland--he let us borrow containers and a lunchkit so we could take food with us on our hike, and even drove us to the train station on the last day. If you're looking to make a real human connection and get to know an awesome guy, I recommend you stay at Noel's! He will treat you like family...PLUS you get to try his awesome homemade waffles. Noel was super accommodating and responded to all messages quickly. He is the best airbnb host I've ever had, and I can't wait to stay with him again next time I'm in Portland!
