From the very beginning, Kristen was very welcoming and helpful. I had a lot of questions since it was my first time using airbnb and she was quick to respond each time. When I first set my reservation, I thought I was arriving at 10:30 am not pm, and when I told her about the mix up she was very understanding and flexible.

The apartment was very cozy and quaint, very clean and comfortable. The location was pretty convenient (about a ten minute walk to the nearest MAX station, five minute walk to the nearest supermarket and shopping mall), which was a big plus since our only means of transportation was the light rail and walking. We didn't really use the kitchen or the washer/dryer but it was nice knowing they were there if we needed them. The bed was absolutely perfect! I got a good night's sleep all three nights of our stay thanks to the comfy mattress.

I never got a chance to say hi or thank her in person but the place was exactly as described and I'm hoping that all airbnb hosts are as pleasant as Kristen and that every airbnb place is as great and reasonably priced because I can't see myself going back to staying at motels/hotels anymore. It was so cool living in our own little home for three nights. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Portland and having such a nice place to stay :)
