I really think there should be an “exceeds expectations” option with these things. Yvette and her family were lovely hosts - available at every turn and so kind and attentive. They even let me stick around a little later AND held my bags for me on my last day because I had an evening flight (they thankfully also had no one back to back)!
My partner and I traveled around the US last year and stayed in different neighborhoods, and I think the the Hawthorne area is one of the coolest places you can be. So much to see and do only a few steps away - champagne poetry, CUBO, Tov, Laurelhurst park, Quarterland just to name a few.
Then to call out the obvious - the Airbnb itself. It’s got a fish tank, a historic fireplace, a sauna, and a glorious claw foot tub… honestly, need I say more.
It’s fabulous and I’m pretty certain you’d have to be out of your right mind if you can’t find something wonderful to enjoy. Will miss this place!
