Kara was very communicative in the hours leading up to check in! She even suggested things we could do in Portland before checking in. The apartment was very cozy and comfortable, especially for two people. There was not much noise at all in the surrounding area, the neighborhood is very quiet. The fireplace is temperature regulated and the bathroom is extremely clean. Kara provided miso soup, granola, yogurt, milk, and more! There were extra blankets, towels, soap, and shampoo provided. The location is very close to some great places in Portland, including Pip's Donuts (we went twice!). Great host, great place, and great time in Portland.
