Incredible 4 star quality hotel-like stay + amazing experience!!! Host Irene always nearby/onsite, attentive, and super friendly and kind, and keeps the place immaculate....PICS DO NOT DO JUSTICE!!! Large common area, quiet and serene, yet very walkable for NE Portland area (including buses to downtown). Place is kept spotless and all the little extras like mini-fridge en suite, plus a full modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, large picnic-style benches indoor and out with strong WiFi including repeaters/extenders in the bedroom(s), plus comfy couches for lounging, etc. Best of all, Dali is the most loving and affectionate kitty you will ever meet (we became BFFs within the first hour). ;-) Definitely undersold as "1950's style" so expected something more rustic/run down, but even the bathroom with crawl-tub is kept immaculate with bonus toiletries and every extra you could ask for provided, and everything is so well maintained. Only downside and reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars are serious lack of water pressure issue (if you like a good strong shower, this may not be the place for you) but otherwise no complaints... Also neighborhood is kinda so-so, but that is most of Portland to me (Northeasterner at heart)....but totally safe and convenient + very walkable, just not the most ritzy area...nonetheless, many cool bars and restaurants within stumbling distance! Best pizza by far = Binks (yummmm + open till 2am)... Skip Pizza Jerk nearby and head there (NYC pizza snob, sorry! heh). Spare Room is a great local dive (and cheap drinks!). I stayed in this area mostly to be close to a friend (and near airport), but would probably recommend exploring other areas of Portland as well (it's a big town, and each neighborhood is as varied as the people). Get a bike, take transit...rent a car if you can...and explore. Portland is a big place. All personal biases aside, AMAZING AIRBNB + HOST!! Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeart!!!!
