Wow this place was fantastic!

We had a group of 4 guys stay for two nights at Spacious Urban Retreat for a World Cup themed Bachelor Party. This place was perfect for our needs and is as fantastic as the photos make it look. It has lots of open space that features a classic feel with modern design features. The house was clean and in great condition. Everything you needed for your stay is provided in abundance. Every where you turned there was another TV to watch the game on. The Kitchen was perfect for cooking meals and had everything we needed (yes, including a TV so we didn't miss any of the action). The location was really convenient. There is a convenience store near by if you need to grab snacks, and grocery stores, restaurants and bars all within a short drive. Its about 15 minutes from the airport or downtown. The only challenge is the single bathroom, but with a little planning, it wasn't an issue at all.

The best part about staying here? The host. Rebecca (the property manager) is very responsive and flexible. She was proactive about her communication, and would respond quickly to my texts, emails and calls. Due to some terrible traffic in Seattle, we were nearly two hours late to from our prearranged check-in, but Rebecca was extremely accommodating with our constantly shifting arrival time. The walk through was easy and informative and the house rules were more than reasonable.

This was exactly the experience you want from Airbnb: Great house, great hosts and a great experience. I hope to come back to Spacious Urban Retreat next time I’m in Portland. It takes a lot for me to give 5 stars, so I cant highly recommend this place enough.
