This was my first time using Airbnb for a getaway, and Paul and Carmenza's place was fabulous. As hosts, they were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. They have extensive knowledge of the area and can recommend great sights around Portland and local food spots. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. They have a cat, but it is completely non-intrusive (although it can warm up to interested parties). We were also pleased to find out that the hosts use a mild detergent on their linens, which did not trigger my skin allergies. We didn't get to see the garden in full bloom, but it was so lovely, even in a cool spring, that we want to return to see it in the summer. Overall, Paul and Carmenza's house is a great place to begin and end a long day of adventuring in Portland.
tl;dr: 5/5, just stay here.
