I don't typically write reviews but I am doing so here to complement the hosts. Minor snafus happen but it is really how people respond that makes the difference. Hosts were EXTREMELY responsive to an inconvenience. Immediately responsive when it was raised, highly communicative about how they were going to handle it, and resolved it appropriately and quickly. The service, responsiveness and communication are what you want when you need it but so rarely get. Could not be happier.
We had a wonderful experience in a new construction, bright, airy, elegant house on a quiet street with lots of parking and walking distance to some shops and good food.
All of the amenities needed to live for a few days in PDX while on holiday and preparing for a wedding. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances, bright bathroom (shower only which is preferred IMHO), excellent washer/dryer, iron, tonnes of closet space (we had been camping and fishing so it was nice to have somewhere to off-load our gear and store it out of sight). Small shaded yard to sit in, and the master bedroom (on the second floor) has a nice deck. Hosts clearly thought about what they wanted to do and take pride in their house.
