I spent two weeks at Gabriella's awesome home in April. It could not have been a better Airbnb experience. Gabriella went out of her way to make me feel welcome. Little touches like water in the fridge in the room, lots of fluffy towels, healthy breakfasts, great coffee, and a lovely garden, not to mention 3 friendly lovable dogs. Her home is immaculately clean and at the same time homey and comfortable. She has three guestrooms, all of which were booked throughout my stay. I was in the smaller basement apartment with shared bath, and was totally comfortable and never once even ran into the other guests, except when I was lounging around in the common living room. Gabriella is a native Portlander. She will make you feel welcome not only in her home, but in her city, and can give you tips on restaurants, great local hikes, and other things to do in this really fun town. Her home is located in a lovely part of NE Portland, not far from several nice restaurants and shops. Of course, everyone bikes in the city, so it is easy to access all the other great NE spots in Irvington and Alberta neighborhoods and downtown by bike or public transportation if you don't have a car, or else you can pick up a car2go on almost any corner (sign up a week ahead if you haven't already).
