The BackShack is one of the best Airbnbs we've ever stayed in! What fun. It is thoughtfully and stylishly decorated... a small (obviously), but super efficient space! We had everything we needed for a comfortable 3-night stay. The bed was comfy, shower was roomy and hot, temperature in the whole place was great, and we sipped on beer in mason jars while strategizing which restaurants to go to. What more could you want for a stay in Portland?!
Plus there were so many cool touches... you can tell that Chelsea and company put a lot of thought and effort into elevating this space (the long live edge wood shelf, epic tile in the shower, unique pottery and dishes).
It was a quick walk to public transportation (which we found to be reliable and efficient) + a bit of a longer walk to Mississippi Ave. with tons of shops, restaurants, bars, breweries... yet the BackShack is tucked into a little neighborhood. We felt like locals!
Needless to say, we'd stay here again. And again. :)
