Absolute BEST value in Portland!! This is my second stay at Kristin's and same rave reviews as the 1st time: Kristin's house is beautiful, spacious, sparkling clean, quiet, and very comfortable. She's thought of everything like extra blankets in the closet and blow dryer in the room with WiFi password and key code and USB cord to plug in all my device chargers. In addition, her house feels very "homey" and comfortable with lots of sweet little touches - and that is after all the whole point of doing AirBnB's, right?
The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and feels quite safe to me, even as a woman walking alone at night. It was easy to find parking within 2 blocks of the house. And on Sunday morning, I got to doze in bed listening to the pleasant sound of Church bells.
Kristin and her family are VERY friendly and obviously enjoy talking with travelers. I really loved their kitty, "Girlie", too who sweetly came to visit me at my doorway for a lovely petting session. If you are missing your cats back home, like I was, Girlie is "there for you"! Great location - close to lots of hipster coffee shops and restaurants and fun stores. Highly recommend the Sellwood Public House, 2 blocks away, for a delicious and very casual dinner (you can get it "to go" as well). It's a great little "local" pub perfect for soaking up the neighborhood vibe and trying a local draft beer. La Sirena is a nearby Mexican restaurant, within maybe a 4 block walk, with the best Margaritas I've ever had. Really - try them!
If you're looking for a simple, clean, comfy bed for the night, free fast Wifi, and don't mind sharing a nice, clean, spacious bathroom with your fellow travelers, THIS is definitely your place - GO!
