We stayed at Aysha's place for 5 nights and it was a perfect experience for us. The trip started out on the right foot with Aysha accommodating our request to check in early due to an early morning flight as well as agreeing to look after our luggage while the space was made ready for us. She is immediately available to answer a question or provide a recommendation but at the same time, grants you the privacy and space that you want when you're trying to relax and settle in to a place.
Aysha's unit is spotless. And it is warmly furnished like a home instead of a hotel. You feel comfortable lounging in the living room and reading one of her books while sipping on some freshly brewed gourmet coffee that has been left for you to make in the well-appointed kitchen. It was very hot in Portland during our time there and although the unit remained comfortably throughout most of the day, it was nice to be able to use the air conditioning when we needed.
The surrounding neighborhood is clean and safe and the neighbors that we bumped into while walking around, like the majority of the Portland denizens, are friendly. There are a multitude of restaurants, cafes etc., all within a short walking distance too. We used the public transport most of the time which was so convenient to access from her unit - bus stop just across the street . And when we rented a car for a couple days, it was never a problem to find parking on the street nearby.
This was our first trip to Portland but it won't be our last. I have stayed at a number of airbnb properties over the years and this one has been the best so far. We will definitely try to stay here again next time we return.
