I have been to Portland several times over the years and stayed in a dozen AirBNBs. When it comes to location, cleanliness, communications with the hosts, and value, this place is a keeper. The room is a large, clean, and very nicely appointed space over a detached garage in the back yard. The grounds of the property are well-maintained, the bed is really comfortable, and the kitchenette is equipped with a mini-fridge, a microwave oven, and a toaster oven so you can prepare and store simple meals. But this being the Multnomah Village neighbourhood, you don't need to cook! Walk for 10 minutes (taking a left turn onto SW Capitol Highway) and you'll be in the heart of the neighbourhood's "downtown," where you'll find Thai, Italian, Asian fusion, and Americana restaurants, as well as bar food, ice cream, and desserts within a couple of blocks - not to mention one-of-a-kind stores and merchants selling really cool and interesting things. And while there's plenty of room in front of the house for parking, you don't need a car if you're touring around Portland. The #44 bus stops on the corner of SW Capitol Highway and SW 35th Ave (again, a 10-minute walk from the house) and takes you right into downtown Portland, where you can catch the lite rail, the streetcar, or other buses that can take you anywhere in the city. The hosts, Ryan and Ariel, are really friendly and easy to talk to. And they have a GREAT dog - a golden retriever named Mochi. When he's hanging in the back yard, he will come up and insist that you give him belly scratches or play tug with a deflated soccer ball... This was an outstanding find in the city and I will be looking these good folks up again for future PDX travels....
