Our stay with Ted was without a doubt one of the most enjoyable Airbnb experiences we've had. It wasn't just the overall smooth experience -- excellent communication from the host, guided check-in process, well thought-through accommodation guide -- but the nice little personal touches throughout. The little bars of dark chocolate on the pillows when we arrived. The "just in case" toothbrushes in the bathroom. The night stands having not just built-in USB hubs, but also an adapter for all the various phone connector types! When we shambled in after a badly-delayed flight, having one less thing to unpack and plug in was so very welcome. And the less practical but no less adorable Rube Goldberg-esque light switch plate in the sitting room -- I'm going to have to find some for our home now!
The house itself is in a highly walkable and pleasant neighborhood, with transit just a couple blocks away. We found travel to and from the downtown convention center to be easy and quick even with very minimal advance planning.
I can't recommend Ted's place highly enough, and would be thrilled to stay there again next time I'm in Portland.
