Outstanding! Can I give bonus stars?
Lisa's apartment is the best place I've ever stayed with AirBnB. It knocked my socks off!
What I loved:
1. The NE location is fantastic. It is close to excellent eating, and yet it provides a quiet, restful retreat. It felt very private. It was easy to park.
2. It's beautiful - from the charming curb appeal to the stylish finishes. And, notably - it's sparkling clean. The home is in excellent condition. It's fresh, stylish and thoughtfully decorated. I fantasized about living there full time.
3. It's very spacious. It's the largest home I've had the pleasure to stay in. It was lovely to have space to spread out.
4. I was blown away by the attention to detail and the thoughtful touches: extra towels, robes, chilled water (my favorite), cheese, crackers, salsa, chips, coffee, face wash, detergent, etc. Lisa has thought of everything - and it was high end - so it felt luxurious which stands out compared with other places.
5. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. I forgot clothes in the dryer, and she was quick to help me retrieve them when I realized my error.
6. Lisa's listing offers helpful suggestions about where to eat and what to do. I've been to Portland several times, and I'm always looking for new places to try. I appreciated the added suggestions.
7. Air conditioning. It was in the 90s each day, but in Lisa's home it was cool, and I was able to sleep. In my experience, AC is uncommon in Portland, so I was ever so glad to have this option.
8. I felt like it was a very good value given the amenities, location, and cleanliness of the home. I would absolutely stay here again!
