Though I was not able to meet David personally on our trip, I can say that his courteous and prompt responses to all of my questions throughout the stay made it seem as though I had. Staying at David's home was my first Airbnb experience and his helping to guide me through the process made it a much less stressful experience!
David's home was a real treat, and indeed a high point of our stay in the city. Our group used primarily ride-sharing apps to get around the city, and the home's proximity to many of the city's hubs made getting to and from where we wanted to be both smooth and relatively inexpensive.
I am not a student of design or styling, but the home had a quirky charm to it that was at once homey and well traveled. I'd say it's like if your grandma was a prestigious sword fighter that traveled the world during the week but was also went to your soccer games and had the family over for dinner every other week--this would be her house.
The best part of the home was the location of the kitchen compared to the backyard (which is lovely). The weather was perfect so were able to use the kitchen as a prep and cooking space in tandem with the grills in the backyard (gas and charcoal). The gas range had plenty of space and was positioned well for being able to interact with your guests and not feel too isolated from the rest of your party. The backyard had plenty of seating of varied types and was an excellent spot to relax over a meal. We didn't use it, but there is also a firepit, which was a nice touch.
If you are looking for a well appointed, clean, and spacious place in Portland that is hosted by a courteous and prompt person, then what are you waiting for?
