Staying chez Woehrmann was the best decision we could have made for our 2-night business trip to Portland. While all of our colleagues stayed at various hotels, we rented this quaint little studio. Our experience differed from theirs in the following ways:
- we paid less than $150 for the weekend's accommodation, while they all paid NO LESS than $250.
- we had our own kitchen, which meant we could have real breakfasts, keep fruit for snacks, and bring cold beverages to our conference each day...some of them had mini-fridges, but most of them spent $$ eating fast food
- we had more privacy with our own separate entrance on a nice quiet residential street...they had lineups for elevators, loud hotel neighbours, and loud street sounds
- we had a private greeting from Ludger before we left on Sunday, with a friendly face and a handshake, and an invitation to book with them anytime...they all had various levels of customer service, which was shared among them and hundreds of other guests.

This was a no brainer for us - we will definitely use Airbnb again - and if we can help it, we will never pay for an overpriced hotel in Portland!
