Virginia's place was just as advertised -- a cozy, clean, well-furnished, private basement apartment (with windows!) in a safe neighborhood about 15 minutes from downtown Portland. Virginia was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating to late arrival and early departure times. The apartment had all the basic amenities and more, including wireless Internet, a huge selection of TV stations, and even several books detailing recommended things to do and trails to hike in the area (not to mention that Virginia gave us some personal suggestions as well). This was a great first experience using Airbnb!
