I cannot recommend Martha and Tim's place enough! The best word to describe this guest house is thoughtful. Martha and Tim have clearly put a lot of thought into making the experience comfortable and convenient -- from the baked muffins and breakfast snacks to the heated bathroom floors. We had the opportunity to meet Martha at check in and appreciated the quick orientation she provided for us on the city, as well as the helpful maps and notes left for us. We did not travel with a car, but found uber and public transportation to be entirely sufficient to explore both sides of the river. There are some restaurants and shops within walking distance, and busier areas (including downtown) are a quick distance away by public transportation. Portland is a beautiful city, and this Airbnb experience was a great way to experience it. Thank you, Martha & Tim!
