From the first contact until the last Tracy has been wonderful! This was our first visit to Portland but certainly not our last. Tracy has been a most wonderful host and both Todd and Tracy live in a very beautiful home, which they open up to lucky travelers like us. Their place has everything that one needs to feel most welcome,the room is more spacious than we initially thought and very clean with all amentities available in the bathroom and nice gestures like an information sheet, yummy treats and water bottles upon arrival. Tracy makes herself available should you have any questions and is genuinely interested and excited to meet new people. The neighbourhood (Alberta) is known for its cultural and artistic vibe and and is very safe, lively and colourful with loads of cute shops restaurants and café's within walking distance. Walking around the area is very safe and makes for a great start of the day. Transfer to the Max rail system to go into the city centre is very easy and cheap; 5 dollars will buy you an all day pass valid on buses and Max transit.
We found in Tracy not only a warm and welcoming host but a genuinely beautiful person and we feel very lucky to have come across her place when we were looking for an airbnb place. Tracy and Todd are a huge part of us wanting to come back to Portland as soon as we can! They are a genuine example of how friendly and welcoming the people of Portland are and with all the nice things to find and the things we have done (Chinese Garden, Washington Park, exploring Alberta neighbourhood, galleries, shops and eat at amazingly good restaurants , Saturday Market and walking around downtown area, we have not even scratched the surface of what there is to see and do.
Tracy and Todd: Thank you for your kindness and making us feel home in your beautiful place.
