I went out to Portland for a recent vacation to the Pacific Northwest. Robert's place was an awesome "home-base" for everything. It's in a nice and chill neighborhood next to Mt. Tabor and you can tell that he's put in a lot of effort to make the living space cozy and livable. The bed's comfy. There's a closet with a dresser. You get your own bathroom. You get your own "living room" with a fridge, toaster, free coffee, and all that jazz. Sounds like a hotel, right? The difference is that the host is much much better than anything you'll see signs for off the highway. He's lived in PDX for years (before it was cool). He knows the neighborhoods, he shares cool ideas for things to do in the city, he recommends restaurants, he'll tell you about neat things happening in the city that you probably wouldn't have known about, he'll just talk to you about whatever...It's pretty great. Couple that all with the fact that Robert checks in from time to time to see if you need anything and is all around super communicative, and you've got yourself a great stay. This is some A+ stuff here. I feel like this is the kind of booking that AirBnb wants to be associated with their brand, because it really does make them look good when things go as well as they did.
