The Magic Barn is exactly like the pictures: charming, cozy, calming and beautiful. The sculptures throughout the unit and yard are fantastic. The hosts were communicative and instructions were clear. The location is perfect - great, safe neighbourhood to experience Portland. We walked everywhere. The Hawthorne and Division districts are both just a few minutes away with tons of great shopping and food. You can catch a bus straight down Hawthorne to downtown very easily, and Uber (a novelty for us BC folks) makes getting around a breeze. I highly recommend the Magic Barn, a central oasis.
