This was our first time visiting Portland and Illana and her place was one of the many things that made our trip more than perfect. The place is literally spotless (and I am very picky when it comes to clean-ness) and very very private - with a bathroom of our own. Illana was so kind and communicative throughout our stay and was very flexible with our late (delayed) arrival. As for the location, it is close to Alberta Arts District (15-20min of walking) and a block away from bus stops. We biked around the city and came back to the house really late by bike but never felt unsafe. Thank you so much for awesome airbnb experience, Illana!
