I never met the hosts who were out of the country during my stay. A very nice woman named Amber was cleaning the space when I arrived and she showed me a few things about the loft. What I liked best about this airbnb listing was the location . This space is in a nice neighborhood. I loved being able to walk to so many good restaurants. I was in town house hunting, and it was important for me to get the feel of what it could be like to live in a SE Portland neighborhood. The down side to the Zen Loft is that it is extremely dark inside even with all the sliding curtains pulled open and every light on. The sleeping area , I found difficult to access because the stairs to the loft are awkwardly spaced. There is no safety rail around the bed, which for a certain kind of sleeper could be dangerous. With some design fixes, and added lighting this place could shine. All things considered , It was a good stay at the Zen Loft.
