We had a wonderful time staying with Christina. The zen retreat is a charming space behind Christina's main house that was super cozy and relaxing. The bed is up in a loft that you access by climbing up this cool welded ladder and the bathroom walls are painted with chalkboard paint, covered with messages from Christina's massage clients. The furry carpets, candles, and decor give the whole thing a funky spa vibe that was ideal for a weekend getaway.

Christina was an amazing host. She left us a bowl with fresh fruit and snacks, a welcome card and note, and even a box of mints on a pillow. She was extremely responsive and communicative the whole time we were there and gave us great recommendations for stuff to do. The Airbnb is located between Hawthorne and Division in SE Portland. The neighborhood has so many bars, restaurants, and music venues, and so her recommendations of where to go were greatly appreciated.

All in all one of our best Airbnb experiences yet! Highly recommended.
