This was our first experience with AirBnB and we didn't know what to expect. The basement accommodations were very clean and the neighborhood was very nice, felt safe and provided a quick access to the airport and city center. Towels and bedding were readily available. Parking was always available.
To get to the basement we passed through the owner's living room and kitchen, which was easy, but passed the garage access which seemed to very full, and was a fire concern. Seating in the basement was kitchen chairs and a love seat.
My husband thought the ventilation was not good, but I felt it was just much warmer than what we are used to and we did not want to disturb the rest of the house just to adjust the temp to our comfort level.
We met Anne and Eric on our last day, because we were seldom there, off visiting relatives in Portland, and they are very sweet people. They had just rescued a little squirrel they were caring for.
Traveling through someone's kitchen and getting used to a level of heat we aren't used to, which is no fault of the host, has made us decide to use a hotel next time, so we don't feel as though we are invading another's home and environment.
