This Airbnb was awesome! They left us a bottle of wine based on what we told them we liked, and they nailed it, I love Riesling! They also provide a few coupons for discounts at a great dispensary called Farma that's in the area.
They have just about everything you could ever need in the way of amenities, with shampoo, conditioner, and soap in the shower, miscellaneous bathroom goods, an iron and ironing board, lots of kitchenware, coffee, tea, books about local things to go see and do, maps, and some games; the list goes on. They also provide a few sets of towels, plus you've got access to the washing machine if you need to use it which is nice.
The place was even bigger than what we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and the couch pulls out into a bed that they provide a pad for, in order to make it more comfortable, as well as easily accessible bedding! We pulled the couch out to lay on while we watched movies using the Apple TV. With the current setup, this apartment could easily provide a comfortable space for two couples, and my boyfriend and I found it quite spacious and nice being up there alone.
I think that the best feature of the apartment is actually what I was initially worried about the most prior to actually checking in, and that is that it's a converted basement. I've never stayed in a converted basement before, and I was a little worried based on some of the others that I had seen while looking on Airbnb, but Sebastian really went all out with this remodel. We had absolutely no issues with sounds from upstairs. Occasionally you could hear the faintest pitter-patter, but only once in a while during the day, if at all. The space is beautifully done, with lots of windows that provide natural light, and one big window that is made possible by a cutout around it outside. It is a very smart design that makes the whole space feel airy and light. It also stays nice and cool during the hot summer days in Portland due to the AC from the house also being circulated in the rental space.
During our stay, we got to talk to Sebastian a couple of times, but realistically if you wanted to have an entirely secluded stay with no interaction with anyone, you could definitely do that given the privacy of the entrance. The lights along the path were both cute and very helpful at night, adding another nice little touch that was a part of what made this stay so great.
The check-in was super easy, as was the check-out, and both Sebastion and Dan were super nice and understanding about my brother being a few minutes late to pick us up, so our amazing stay ended stress-free as well, which was really nice.
Overall we had a great time and would love to stay again next time we're in Portland!
