What a fantastic place! We had such a delightful stay: The place is bright and airy, and it is clear that Amber has put a lot of thought, care and energy into making it a comfortable place to stay. The decor is eclectic and charming, and it was a very comfortable place to relax.
When we arrived, we immediately understood why it's called "The Birdhouse" as the top-floor location is perched among the trees. When we were there the trees hadn't yet leafed out, but we could tell that within a few weeks we would have had a beautiful view of the mature trees around us. The kitchen in particular was a great place to hang out as it has windows all around and a view of Mount Tabor. My wife loved hanging out there in the morning.
We were delighted to to find a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived, which was a welcome surprise after our flight to Portland. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials, including coffee, half-and-half, sparking water, etc. This was particularly great since we got in a little late and didn't have time to hit a grocery store before we arrived.
We really enjoyed being close to Mt. Tabor park where we took a late afternoon hike that was just magical. From the top of the Mt. Tabor we got a fantastic view of downtown with the sun bouncing off the reservoir at the base.
Amber definitely deserves her "Superhost" designation: She was easy to communicate with and totally easygoing. We had requested a late checkout and since she had no one arriving the next day, she was very accommodating of our request.
Checkout was easier than most AirBnbs we've stayed at. Besides leaving clean dishes, there was no need to strip the beds, start laundry or anything like that.
Bottom line, we would highly recommend the Birdhouse and Amber. You won't be disappointed! We've been to 3 other AirBnb's in Portland, and this was definitely our favorite!
