As an Airbnb newbie I had my doubts, but Rick and Krista made a convert out of me. This is how to do it, folks. They have an attractive, clean and welcoming home, conveniently located, and they are the most kind, most gracious and pleasant hosts you could hope for. I had to stay in Portland for a week to take care of some challenging family issues. Much as I love Portland, I was not exactly looking forward to this trip. The thought of staying with “strangers” made it doubly intimidating. But as soon as I arrived Rick made me feel right at home, showed me around the immediate neighborhood, and gave me some helpful tips and suggestions. Both he and Krista are friendly, down-to-earth, thoughtful people and in the end I count my time spent with them as one of life’s unlooked-for blessings. Thank you so much, Rick and Krista. Woodlawn haven indeed!
