This is a gem of a place to stay in Portland.
One does AirBnB because they are looking for more than a hotel can provide. Daniel exactly did that in multiple ways that reaffirmed our belief that whenever we travel with the family, AirBnB is the way to go.
The house is older but has all the latest amenities and updates upto Nest and Google Home and smart tv etc. The kitchen has all the latest gadgets and is clean. The bathroom is clean, has good fittings, and is suitable to the age of the house. Bedrooms had plush linens with good quality beds and closets with nice hangars.
Then, Daniel added finishing touches that were outstanding:
* Upon noticing that we had a kid, he reached out to ask if we would like a stroller, high seat, and toys. That saved us luggage while traveling and made life much easier!
* He also made sure that some of the decor he has is not offensive given our faiths and believes.
* He had kept whole bean coffee (Portland is all about great coffee) from local roasters for use in the kitchen along with all necessary equipment upto a French press. That was cool!
* He provided excellent suggestions for local places (we walked over to Posies every day) and attractions for kids that were spot on.
* Check-in/check-out/locking was smoother than even a hotel with no keys to handle or loose :)
Overall, a stay that exceeded our expectations.
