We had a lovely stay in Portland at Barbara's place! The apartment was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, and had everything we needed- including a cute kitchen with delicious granola! It was also located slightly Northeast of downtown, but close to public transportation, which was very easy to get around! Barbara was the perfect host- she responded promptly to our questions via email, greeted us and let us drop off our bags early, and gave us many great recommendations for the city! We will definitely stay at Barbara's place again on our next trip to Portland!
