My boyfriend and I stayed at Tyra's loft during 4th of July weekend and greatly enjoyed our experience.
Location: The loft is located just outside a very trendy part of Portland. In walking distance is Mississippi Ave, which is a must-see for any Portlandia fans.
The Loft: The highlight of the loft is the outdoor decking, with an amazing view overlooking the city. Inside, the loft furnishings are very trendy, and Tyra has many of your daily necessities stocked (coffee, filtered water pitcher, qtips, etc).
Host: Tyra was very accessible through airbnb messenger and via texts. In addition, the loft was stocked with a lot of maps, niche tourist guides (craft beer brewery guide) and local magazines which helped us plan our visit.
I would highly recommend Tyra's loft for an authentic Portland experience.
