This was my first experience with AirBnB. I was nervous staying in some random persons house. I was concerned that there was going to be this overwhelming pressure that we would be FORCED to socialize with a random person. I was worried the room would be a shoebox or bugs and so on. I have never been so happy to be so wrong.

Margo was the perfect host. She welcomed us from the moment we got there, told us about the location and room and then left. No awkward moments which was great considering I am pretty socially weird. The entire experience was wonderful.

I understand why it is called Artisan Sanctuary. It is a location that I could see a writer being held up for a week while trying to finish a book. It is very quiet. We never heard the rain once while we were there. The entire setup was beautiful.

If you are looking for a true blue Portland Experience, this location and stay has to be included in it. Tell Daisy we miss her already!
