Linda's place worked well for my Thanksgiving visit to see my daughters in Portland. It's located in a pretty, older neighborhood of Victorian style homes and is one house away from a very nice park. The airport is only 10-15 minutes away by car.
Check-in is easy through a digital lock on a back door that is accessed through the driveway and a well-lit gate. Once inside, a shared split-level stairway leads up to a solid door to Linda's residence and down through an accordion door to the AirBnB which is suite-like and fills the basement. A hallway runs from a nice living room past a modern bathroom to a comfortable bedroom and office-type space that includes a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker.
The space is fairly large, clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities provided including bedding, towels, soaps, lotions and Keurig coffees. Even though it is a basement space, there are windows in both the living room and the office/kitchenette space. There are a couple of areas in rooms where the ceiling appears to be only 7 feet high which was fine for me at 5' 10" but could be more challenging for my oldest son and son-in-law who are both well over 6' tall. Note also that the accordion door that closes off the AirBnB space latches with only a magnetic connector but doesn't actually lock. The space is separated from Linda's by a solid door at the top of the stairs as well as a fully locked door to the outside. Linda is a charming host so this was fine for me but is something to be aware of.
As mentioned, I visited over Thanksgiving when the high temperatures were in the low 40s. The basement has a couple of vents (bedroom and living room) that are connected to central heating (and, I presume, air conditioning). There are also a couple of supplemental electric heaters (bedroom and bathroom). There are also extra blankets. I tend to run hot personally and was plenty warm with the vent in the bedroom closed and no supplemental heating or blankets...very comfortable.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would happily stay again in the future.
