Wow.
We had high expectations for our first AirBnB Plus, and I can honestly say they were exceeded in every way. Michael and Felicity's guest house was truly a special place, one that I would be happy to live in full time. Each detail from the art, to the wall sconces, to the table reads, to the appliances, to the plant life was carefully curated, giving the home instant character and charm.
Highlights include:
-The space. It was bigger than the pictures let on, which is the reverse of what we're used to. The synergy of the outside patio, living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and lounge/loft gave the Guesthouse a large and spacious feel for two people.
-Location. Even in crummy weather, this location was great for walking to a few nearby establishments (coffee shop, bakery, park), with a 5 minute drive to trendy Alberta street AND Williams street.
-Communication and Care. Mike was very friendly, and quick to respond / answer any questions we needed, even taking time to show us his art studio and play with his dog Pickle. We had a small issue with the shower temperature, and Mike had a technician there to look at it the following morning.
My girlfriend and I were truly sad to leave this cozy spot, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a very comfortable Portland stay.
