For our trip to Portland, I researched a ton of places on Airbnb. After reading several reviews, and mapping out the areas we wanted to visit, we decided on Dina's apartment. Wise choice. First, Dina was very easy to communicate with by text and email and provided all the necessary info for an easy check in. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. As far as the apartment, It was exactly as described, super clean and comfy. The private entrance allowed us to come and go as we pleased, and the washer/dryer was a welcomed addition mid week. Location - we did not have a rental car and simply did not need one to explore Portland from Dina's. Our first day we walked down Hawthorne and rented bikes from Clever Cycles (highly recommend). Once we had our bikes we could basically go anywhere from Dina's pad. In fact, one morning, we biked downtown to Voodoo for donuts and made it back in ample time to be picked up for our wine tour. We stayed in Portland for 7 days and divided our trip up in three segments. First three days at Dina's, then rented a car to drive out to the coast for the night. Then the last 3 days stayed near KILLINGSWORTH. I would highly recommend Dina's apartment and would definitely stay again.
