Alysia has been the best Airbnb host we've experienced with her attention to details. We've booked varying homes often each year, for family and friends gatherings.
The house was beautiful, clean, and the layout was user friendly and open. The kitchen had every baking and cooking tool you will need. Everything worked. The water and plumbing worked. The appliances were new functional, every electrical outlet worked. It did not short out the fuse box when we had multiple appliances used simultaneously. The interior was modern, yet maintained the bones of a classic "huge" bungalow. There are 3 legitimately good sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A kitchen that can hold 4-5 people cooking at a time. A dining room that seats 10-11. And a living room with plenty of seating, where we watched HBO shows and laughed together.
The back patio offers 3 grouped gathering areas, with a minimum of 4 seats for each of section. All of the seating/furniture were clean and well maintained. There was even a basketball play area.
The location of the house is prime Sellwood neighborhood area- within 1-2 blocks. Walk to the large grocery store QFC, coffee shops, restaurants and bars -most with outdoor seating, cute speakeasy nearby, boutique shops.
A side note; this a great spot for foodies- Suburo's (best sushi in town), Oaks Bottom Brewery (best Tatcho's), Bible Club (best speakeasy), Wei Wei (best pork belly bao), Tao of Tea (love the caboose front and spacious coffee/tea shop), and countless food carts.
It is a very friendly neighborhood. Every, and I mean every neighbor said "Hello" to us when we went for the morning, afternoon, and evening walks with our dogs. We felt safe out early in morning and late at night.
If you have a chance to come to Portland, I highly recommend Alysia's. It's not just a house, its the perfect space to creat new memories.
