YOU MUST STAY HERE. I mean it. This is the most unique airbnbs i have ever stayed at. It is perfectly set in a calm neighborhood that is truly minutes away from the heart of Portland--some hosts aren't 100% truthful with location but Anne's Container Home is.
We arrived at nighttime and the home was easy to find with ample street parking. There was a lit entrance and the door has an electric lock so you don't have to worry about losing the housekey when you are out-and-about. The code is 4 digits and is unique to each airbnb reservation, so it is very secure.
We get into the container home and it is gorgeous. It is so clean, smells great, and has everything you need to feel comfy (a kitchen with free coffee, tea, a top-burner, water heater, microwave oven, and a mini fridge). The TV has netflix for resting and watching while you plan the next day. The bathroom was very roomy and the water pressure in the shower was great. The house has its own watertank so warm water is not in short supply.
MY FAVORITE PARTS:
There were a few amazing above-and-beyond aspects about this airbnb/ the owners. We came to Portland for only 36-48 hours and the trip was only decided on a few days before--so we didnt really know what we wanted to do. The owners provide many pamphlets and magazines on Portland, but MUCH better was the owners self-written guidebook with their favorite local must-sees, and larger Portland must-sees. The amount of must sees was amazing and really saves you time if you arent sure what you want to do, or what website to trust for a great experience.
We are foodies, so the amount of recommended restaurants, cafes, and bars/lounges felt tailored for our time in Portland. Also provided are recommendations for activities, and there were some grocery stores and markets--but our stay was short so we just ate out the entire time using the guide-book :)
ANOTHER BONUS:
I had many questions for Anne and the speed and depth/detail of her answers were amazing. I didnt expect such care in a response so it really made me feel welcome. Truly meant the world.
I will 100% stay here again. Thank you, Anne!
IF I COULD RATE 6 STARS, I WOULD.
