An extraordinary home when you are away from home and in Portland. Susannah's place is a cozy, welcoming and very well stocked apartment in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Buckman, the other side of Downtown - the even better side (by the way, on the East side you can find some of the most breathtaking restaurants, coffee shops and tea parlors in the whole of Portland). I cannot even begin to describe how easy and seamless it was to check in and out: I feel there is no learning curve. You simply follow the instructions and it works, from the very first time. For us, it was a monumental plus to have free parking on the premises - our car was safe while we walked everywhere. You can walk pretty much everywhere from here - although, Susannah was so kind as to leave us with a bunch of TRIMET tickets. The AirBnB is in a quiet residential neighborhood, tucked in between trees like most of Portland. The place was sparkling clean and with aromatic hints reminding you that this place was once a spa. From the cleaning supplies to the essentials, towels, tea & snacks provided everything screamed quality. Even though the house in itself is not new, there was great water pressure and hot water without waiting. One thing to keep in mind though, is that the entire place is at the basement level - so there is not much natural light coming in. However, the numerous light fixtures and lamps keep the place lit up. Another thoughtful touch was a water cooler - it was a great refreshment every time we walked in after a day out. We've met with Susannah and Mike on the porch and they are very friendly and interested in making your stay as pleasant as possible - they made great suggestions for things to do, see, drink or eat. To conclude, this is a really great place to visit Portland from. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here for your visit in Portland.
