Liz and Nathan's loft is a GREAT place to stay in a quiet, historic neighborhood of Portland. We used the kitchen every day- crock pot, microwave, toaster oven and electric cooking pan all worked great. The set up is convenient- let yourself in with a code on the door lock. There is a dog in host's house but I never heard it bark nor did it take notice of us. Near to a bus stop which connects with the light rail red line. Liz and Nathan were attentive- promptly answered every question via the Airbnb App- and incredibly helpful when we needed advice about how to get around town. The loft was very clean. Was traveling with my adult son so we especially liked the set up with two beds (queen bed and futon). If you need a totally dark sleep environment bring eye shades for sleeping because the beautiful large windows near the vaulted ceiling don't have curtains/blinds. If you enjoy historic architecture take a walk on some of the nearby streets. Tons of older houses with beautiful a landscaping. Would stay here again. Highly recommend.
