Ali and David were very welcoming and considerate hosts who seemed relaxed and happy to be sharing their home. My husband, daughter and I couldn't have asked for a better first time Airbnb experience. The rooms are exactly as they appear in the photos - super clean and comfortable, and very private from the rest of the house. You do walk through the main house to get to them, but that felt perfectly comfortable, especially as Ali and Dave also have plenty of private space away from the flow of visitor traffic. There are thoughtful extras like tea and (excellent) coffee in the kitchenette, bicycles available to borrow, various maps and guidebooks about Portland, and plenty of fans and a room air conditioner to keep the summer temps comfortable upstairs. The neighborhood is charming, filled with trees and gardens, and very peaceful in the immediate vicinity - perfect for porch sitting! Yet it's an easy stroll to really interesting restaurants/bars, galleries and shops. It was also easy to get downtown on the bus. The only caution I can think of is that very tall people might be challenged by the sloping dormer ceilings, but overall this was perfect for us.
