This was my first airbnb experience where we didn't have a house or apartment to ourselves. I was skeptical about staying in someone's backyard at first but, Rodger's backyard addition was perfect. The small space was more than accommodating and had everything we needed. Lots of natural light to wake up to in the morning due to all of the windows and skylights. The bed was extremely comfortable and cozy for cold Portland nights. Rodger was very friendly and didn't impose on our privacy in the slightest. He also left printed directions to places and area's of Portland I had mentioned in email. Downtown is a short drive away so don't be put off be the distance either. I would highly recommend this airbnb to anyone looking to stay in the area. Rodger's backyard home is much better than most hotel's I've stayed in throughout the years and for a fraction of the price. You can't go wrong!
