Having never used AirBnb before, I was unsure of what I was getting myself into, but needed to figure something out, so went for it. With that being said, I could not be more satisfied with the choice I made to stay with Kelly. I needed a temporary place to stay that was not only comfortable and safe, but also reasonably priced and fairly central to the world of Portland around me. I was thankfully able to find all of the above and more with my choice. Not only were Kelly and his family extremely friendly and kind, but also very helpful. Prior to arrival, Kelly offered a ride since I had a moderate amount of things that would've been more difficult to deal with via bus, and although I wasn't expecting small things like such, they were really nice touches that showed that he cared. I was out and about a moderate amount of my stay, but when I was in the house, Kelly was cool to talk to, and more than willing to help with things. The house itself stayed pretty quiet a lot of the time, which was nice. A generous amount of fridge space, as well as the ability to use the kitchen to cook was offered upon arrival. There is a Safeway and some other general grocery stores, as well as a bunch of other places to see within walking distance, so again, pretty central location. Even if walking isn't preferred, there are multiple bus lines that run nearby the neighborhood where Kelly is located, which make getting around even easier. Included in the stay was a private bathroom with all the basics you could need on a general day to day basis, so even if you opt to travel light, you should be pretty well covered. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this option for anyone looking for a great place in the Portland area, whether you're just visiting, or if you're looking for a temporary place to stay while you figure out what you're doing, like I was.
