My boyfriend and I have used Airbnb many times, in cities all over Europe and the US. We've had nothing but positive experiences, but until our trip to Portland we had never experienced the level of hospitality Joanne showed us. The house is clean, tidy, organized, accessible, and an all-around terrific place to stay. Joanne is welcoming, thoughtful, generous, extremely knowledgable about things to do in Portland, very likable, and just a fabulous host. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed all our conversations and interactions with Joanne. We also really liked how close the house is to Mount Tabor (great for running, hiking and picnicking). There are lots of great restaurants and food trucks a short walk from the house. We also cooked sometimes in Joanne's lovely kitchen, and she provided a great continental breakfast. Nearby busses made for an easy trip into downtown Portland. Joanne keeps a beautiful garden which makes the house even more of a pleasure to come home to. I could say so much more about what a terrific experience we had here, but in the interest of time I'll just say: if you have the opportunity to stay with Joanne, do yourself a favor and take it!
