This is the fourth time I have stayed at Kyra’s Airbnb and I will never stay anywhere else as Kyra and her family truly have made it my home away from home (maybe even better than my home at home). I love the place so much that I have changed the dates of my trips if I discover it is already booked.
If you aren’t planning to rent a car, this is the perfect place for you. Great restaurants and coffee spots are just a short walk away and the beautiful Laurelhurst Park is right across the street. The home is a block or two away from the bus line and it is very inexpensive to Uber/Lyft to the popular tourist spots like the Pearl, Downtown or the Arts District. However, there is so much to do and see in the Laurelhurst neighborhood, you may not want to leave.
It is easy to forget that you are in a residential neighborhood since Kyra’s gardens are incredible. There is a small pool and I love being greeted by the peaceful fish pond.
The apartment is inmaculately clean and Kyra always seems to anticipate anything I may need for the kitchen, bathroom or laundry. When I’ve come in the Summer, she had the AC on so that the place would be cool when I got there. This past trip, she had the heat all ready since she knew I would be cold as I live in Hawaii and also had lots of extra blankets. As my flights always get in late at night, she is always so caring as to have some snacks, fruits and drinks for me in the fridge.
If I had to pick one thing that brings me back, it is Kyra herself. She really goes that extra step to make sure my stay is a great one. She quickly answers any questions I may have before, during or after my stay. She has great recommendations for what to do and where to go around town. She is also very helpful and accommodating when the unexpected happens - like my last minute request that a friend needed to stay with me for part of my stay or I wanted to look at propert with a realtor. Thanks to Kyra, both of these issues I had to deal with were taken care of. She truly wants to make your stay a great one and it shows.
