Staying at Aysha and Heidi's place was one of the most comfortable travel experiences my husband and I have ever had. It was well-located just a couple blocks's walk from the Alberta Arts District, where we enjoyed people-watching, shopping, and some tasty cocktails. A two-minute walk in the other direction yields a fantastic pour-over coffee shop (Extracto), a funky bar (Grain + Gristle), and delicious Thai food (Pok Pok Noi). Other neighborhood amenities include easy (free) on-street parking, and public transportation right across the street. The apartment itself is the real star of the experience, though. It's exceptionally clean, smartly designed, and beautifully appointed with original artwork and comfortable, new furniture. It has all the amenities one might want, including soft, fresh bedding, wi-fi, private entrance, laundry, and even the friendly company of their cat, Dib Dib, who shared freely of his time and made us feel quite welcome. We didn't get to actually meet Aysha and Heidi during our stay, as they were traveling, but they made sure everything was there for us, gave us great instructions for check-in/out, and answered quickly any questions we had. Given the chance to come to Portland again, we would greatly look forward to booking this apartment, and have already been raving about it to our travel-savvy friends back in Boston.
