Stay here and you'll be happy!!!! One of the things noted in the description for this Airbnb is to take off your shoes upon entry in order to keep the carpets clean. My husband and I are shoe people, so we brought our slippers. Well, that was just the final step to make this Airbnb feel like home!!!!! We ended up staying in the space for more hours than we expected as our daily plans changed, and it was a great place to hang our, both night and day. In addition, we ate breakfast in the room each day and a take-out dinner on one night and we didn't feel like we lacked for anything in the kitchen department. And the big sink in the bathroom is great for washing dishes. Another big plus is we were able to park directly in front of the house EVERYTIME. I don't know if this is always the case, but it was a great perk. The location is also walking distance to Whole Foods and Starbucks and probably other places too. We ate dinner at Lucca Restaurant https://www.luccapdx.com/ which was very close by as well. Everything really was perfect and I would definitely stay here again. My only issue is that there were ants sometimes, but in all honestly, that has been the case in every basement Airbnb I have stayed in in Portland. Another big plus was the great and timely communication with Chantel and Mackenzie. That just added to why this is such a great Airbnb. And finally, the location felt great to us in that we had a car and were going to be spending time in both SE Portland and N Portland, so this place was perfectly located between the two. I can't speak to public transportation in the area, but I did see some of those "sharing bikes and even some sharing cars". Stay here!! You will love it.
