We enjoyed our stay in Alan's home. Our spacious and airy room on the second floor felt nice and private, with a separate staircase leading to the main area, even though the entry is through the host's main living area. We were offered access to the kitchen on the main floor as well. We appreciated the warm privacy of our room and enjoyed our friendly morning chats on our way out. Alan had nice snacks and a bottle of wine available for our enjoyment and several personal toiletries available. The bed was super comfortable, especially the linens. This was our first trip to the Portland area and Oregon itself, visiting family who had just relocated. This Airbnb is situated very close to our family, as well as to Portland city itself. The area has a bit more rural feel than the city, with walking distance to grocery, Starbucks, and small eating places and nearby outdoor activities nearby, such as hiking at Tryon State Park, a farmer's market, walking trails, and the Willamette River parks. Exploring Multnomah Village with our granddaughter was a special treat. All of these factors helped to make our first visit to Portland a pleasurable one.
