If you’re looking for an authentic and immersive way to experience Portland I can not recommend Taizz’s AirBnB enough! Unlike some AirBNB’s it is more of a communal situation as there are a total of 3 guest rooms so you will most likely meet other travelers. The bed was super comfortable and the view from my room’s window looked out over the shipping docks and the hills across the river. The surrounding neighborhood is full of beautiful craftsman homes and the house is located within walking distance of public transportation (which Taizz graciously showed me how to use!). Taizz also provides grab-n-go snacks/coffee available for guests which makes it easy to start the day on the right foot! And lastly, Taizz is such a warm and inviting presence who I consider myself lucky to have met and I am sure anyone who stays here would as well!
