Judy’s place was incredible. I arrived and was immediately struck with a warmth of hospitality as I saw my name written on a chalkboard “Rosa, welcome to Portland”!

The instructions were simple to get In through the kitchen and down the basement. Judy’s daughters greeted me and then I met Judy. I wasn’t feeling well (motion sickness from train) and she immediately offered me seltzer water (which helped). When I got downstairs I was overwhelmed by how beautiful everything was. The bed was comfy, beautiful pillows and comfy sheets. Tow chairs with throw blankets, tv, magazines and maps of Portland. The walls were painted in pleasant cleaning colors and the space was very well lit. Keep in mind it is a basement and you can hear footsteps and floors creaking, but it isn’t anything that will affect your stay. I had the best most tranquil night of sleep. (Quiet).
There was the small kitchen area with the cutest dining area for two. Dishes put out and all that you need in a kitchen is it here.
There was fresh fruit- the most delicious jam and honey wheat bread loaf. The refrigerator had yogurt, orange justice, V8 juice, cream for coffee, English muffins and Starbucks ground coffee for a French press.
The shower was immaculate, the towels were sparkling white and clean here was shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The pedestal sink had really hot water and the shower head was like a rainfall. It was like being at a spa surrounded by calming olive green tones of tile.
I can go and on...
the most important part you must know of this review is that I had to leave the air bnb the next day in the morning. My illness got worse and it affected my back. I was there LESS THAN 24hrs, and yet it was the best place I have ever stayed through air bnb. Judy was attentive to how I was feeling and my only regret was not being able to say goodbye the next day when I left. I definitely want to stay at her place in the future as I will need a re-do if Portland since I didn’t get to explore it. Thank you Judy, and to your family for being so kind to me. You made me feel like I was at home.
With love, Rosa
