If you are visiting Portland, I 100% recommend staying at Jeanie and Taylor’s! They were lovely and accommodating of both us and our seven month old. They provided a high chair, baby bath, baby gate and offered us a pack & play, which made our stay go so much more smoothly, as anyone with a baby can attest.
During our stay, we parked our car and walked/bussed everywhere since it was so central. We even managed to walk into downtown Portland, although we took the bus home (direct with no transfers and a stop very close to the Airbnb). Despite being on a fairly major thoroughfare, the unit was super quiet. There were wonderful restaurants, shopping and coffee shops within walking distance.
The unit itself was very thoughtfully decorated in Portlandia-meets-rec-room aesthetic. Fun vintage items decorated the space but the stuff that really matters (bed, mattress, major furniture, kitchenette) was new. Despite being in a basement level, the ceilings were high and it was not dark or gloomy. The hosts had provided guidebooks and bus info in the living room which helped us plan our visit.
The hosts were fast to respond to our messages, the wifi was solid and check-in/out was a breeze. We would definitely stay at their place again. Thanks Jeanie & Taylor!!
