I compared dozens of Portland airbnbs and I am so glad I chose Tamara's. The thought and detail put into this space is impressive, she has included everything you could possibly need. For example, the skylights have remote-operated blackout covers in every room, not just the bedroom, which really shows attention to detail. The neighbourhood is a safe, residential area and close to a lot of great spots in my Portland itinerary, so with my car it was easy getting around. One of the best things about this space was how incredibly quiet it was. It seems like 90% of Portland airbnbs are a "basement" style spaces, which typically means noise and footsteps above - but Tamara's is a ground-level duplex out the back away from the street (and nobody above you) so it is very peaceful. I never heard the sounds from her home or the ones around me. I also never actually saw or met Tamara or her partner during my stay, so if privacy is a concern for you, don't even worry about it. Parking was always easy and even during the evenings I was able to get a park out front or just a couple of doors up/down from the place. A nice surprise was that the laundry room is actually one of the rooms inside the airbnb (I mistakenly thought it was shared with the main house) so I was very happy to have a private space to do laundry before I left for the rest of my journey. If you are tossing up between a few airbnbs, go with Tamara's, you will not be disappointed.
