Best stay in PDX yet!! While the pictures on Amy’s page are enticing and paint a proper picture, Lady Bluebird was even better in person. Seriously, it was amazing. After reading the reviews and speaking to Amy directly, I knew we were in for a unique treat, but you never really know until you experience it for yourself. Well, this was my first official Airbnb experience and I’m afraid the bar is now set insanely high – from the accommodations, the setting, the location (fantastic neighborhood and close to everything), free and convenient parking, and our fabulous host. The bus was so much roomier than I thought it would be – the thing is huge! It was clean, cozy, private, quiet, safe, and simply AWESOME.

Echoing other reviews about the host – Amy is phenomenal. I found this place on Airbnb in early December and wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday getaway in mid-February. Unsure if I was insane for staying outside in a bus during that time of the year, I messaged Amy for her thoughts. She got back to me right away with reassurance, but also with honesty . . . I was staying outside in a bus in February – it might be a bit chilly. But, just as others have said, the electric blanket and space heater were perfect. We were plenty warm. Also, being my first experience, I had a ton of questions and she answered them all promptly and patiently. Even going so far as to offer to help with the birthday surprise. She made me feel so at ease and welcome that I felt like we were visiting a friend's house. I seriously wanted to hug the woman upon meeting her. And, while we didn’t need her assistance (other than with the key, which was our own nerd fault – so embarrassing), we knew she was just a text away. We met her initially (again due to the key nerdness), but you’d never know she was there otherwise. We were in our own world and it was perfect!

I’ve been intrigued with Airbnb for about a year now, but have been hesitant about booking mainly because you don’t know what you’re truly going to get. One of my main hesitancies has been privacy. I worried that a room through Airbnb would feel like I was intruding on someone’s space and/or like I needed to be social with the host. While I’m totally down for being social, I also wanted to feel like I was in my own space – like a hotel room, but obviously better. And this was exactly that. The bus was amazing. Amy was amazing. Everything was just amazing. We can’t wait to go back!!
