We came to Portland to visit with our kids and grandkids for the Christmas holidays and rented Joel's place so we could have our own spot to live in while visiting. It was an awesome place to spend Christmas in. The gas fireplace built into a brick hearth lent so much warmth, cheer and comfort during our stay. The place had everything we needed including a fully functional kitchen supplied with all the tools and utensils one would hope to find. We found the apartment spacious and comfortable and roomy enough to have a few family members over to visit. We also found the neighborhood to be nice and conveniently located near a wonderful park called Mount Tabor. Our walks there filled us with wonder and admiration for the trees and the beauty and energy of the place. Our hosts were cordial, kind and accommodating. We thought that the value for cost on this Airbnb was excellent.
