I reserved Kim's place for my birthday weekend. I was looking for a place that was near downtown Portland, but also quiet for some much needed downtime. I couldn't have asked for a better spot!
Kim is an amazing communicator. I had a couple of questions before arrival and she addressed them right away. Information about access to the unit and Portland activities came at just the right time to help me prepare for my trip. Parking was easy and plentiful.
Kim clearly has an eye for design and hospitality. Seriously, this place looks like it came straight from a magazine! Neutral colors, clean lines, natural wood elements, and soft touches. The unit has plenty of natural light but also feels private and cozy by nightfall. There is an outdoor patio area that I didn't use because it was a bit chilly in February, but I imagine that it would be a great spot to wind down with a glass of wine in warmer months.
Everything was sparkling clean! The bed was amazing and I was able to get some much needed rest throughout my stay. There were extra blankets available, but I didn't really need them because I could control the temperature in the unit. The bathroom had what I needed as well. Again, super clean with plenty of towels! The kitchen had all the essential equipment (utensils, mixing bowls, baking pans, spices, cooking oil, etc.) needed to whip up a quick meal.
Portland takes its earth stewardship seriously. Kim made it easy to "do as Portlanders do" by labeling containers for glass, paper, compost, and trash. From unit information, to Portland guides, to perfectly appointed amenities, you can tell that Kim has put thought into every aspect of the guest experience.
I will most certainly book this spot again! It had everything I needed: proximity to downtown, clean accommodations, and an amazing host. Thank you, Kim!
