Inviting in Irvington was my 4th Airbnb in the area and the best yet! It is clean, exactly as described, and the location makes getting around by foot, car, or public transportation a breeze. Kristin is a very responsive and professional host. We were able to check in and out independently. All the information we needed to settle in was easily available. While it is a basement apartment, it doesn't feel like a basement. There is plenty of light and the small outside space is private and perfect for a glass of wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. I particularly appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit as we arrived after several days of hiking around Mt. Rainier and the Columbia River Gorge. It was easy to run our hiking clothes through the wash and not have to pack stinky laundry for the trip home! I also loved having a full size tub/shower and a roomy bathroom which is a first in my Airbnb Portland experience. As Kristin discloses, there is an active family living above the unit. The noise was not constant by any means and it was super quiet in the evenings. Personally, I loved the occasional sound of an exuberant Little One running upstairs! Unless you are a really light sleeper or just don't like being reminded there are other humans inhabiting the space, don't let a few bursts of delightful footsteps deter you. Kristin's place is great and I hope it will be available next time I head to Portland.
