We had a nice time in Portland, despite the snow storm which shut down much of the city. This was our first experience with airbnb and it was a positive one! Katrina's basement suite was clean, modern, quiet and cosy. The bed was comfortable and we had no trouble falling asleep after a long day of exploring the city.

The location was quite convenient. We walked to Blitz, Pok Pok, Lardo and across the Hawthorne Bridge into downtown. Having coffee, tea, yogurt and homemade carrot cake in the kitchen was definitely a bonus. The binder and magazines full of suggestions about where to eat and what to do were also useful. These little touches made the stay feel much more personal than staying in a hotel.

As for communication, Katrina was available by email/text whenever I needed to contact her and her instructions to check in/out were very clear. I would recommend staying here!
