I’m convinced there are no better travel accommodations than AirBNB. We stayed in Sue and Bob’s garden apartment on our first trip to Portland and were thrilled with the decision. The charming space had all the amenities we needed, including homemade chocolate muffins waiting for us on our arrival. It was the perfect home away from home, where we could cook breakfast each morning in the well-appointed kitchen and settle into the heavenly bed after long days of sightseeing each night. Sue and Bob were super friendly and quick to make great recommendations for sure-win destinations to visit. They even offered their bikes, incase we wanted to ride around in true Portland style. The neighborhood is beautiful and convenient to trendy restaurants (Tabor Tavern, Por Que No? Taqueria, Stammtisch), shopping (Powell’s Bookstore, Presents of Mind, Simply Vintage Boutique) and nightlife spots (Baerlic Brewery, Hale Pele, Landmark Saloon); Downtown Portland; and the interstate for trips out to the Columbia River Gorge, wine country or the Pacific Coast (Volcano Lands Tour). If we’re ever back in the Rose City, we would love to stay at here again!
