When I first walked into this Airbnb, my first thought was how absolutely pleased I was about the pictures matching the actual location 100%. Everything was spot on and nothing was a surprise which I really, really appreciated!
The neighborhood is definitely a hopping area with coffee shops nearly a 5 minute walk away, and grocery stores and drug stores only a 5 minute drive away. The only thing I did notice is the area itself (especially once you started going a little bit further down the street the house is on) felt a little unsafe. However, I honestly still think the end of the street that the house is on is a family friendly area, but something to think about if that's important to you.
I also want to mention how absolutely and entirely friendly Andy and Andrea are. They never bothered me, but was so incredibly kind to me when our paths did cross. These are definitely the type of hosts that should be hosting an Airbnb. They were so respectful of my privacy and even allowed for a few of my friends to stop by. They are such awesome people and it was so nice to meet them.
The location itself was spotless. I seem to really judge a place based on how clean the bathroom is, and everything was so clean! I was really impressed.
I really only have one last point to mention/suggestion to the hosts is that the studio is so very bright, which is amazing during the day, however it would be great to have some curtains on the side of the house with the French doors as that's where the most sun comes in from. Other than that, I wouldn't change a single thing!
Thank you Andy and Andrea for hosting me and if I ever return to Portland, I'll know exactly who I'm booking with!
