I have to start by saying that I have stayed in quite a number of airbnb's internationally. Sara's place is hands down, my favorite ever. Its so nice to be in a space that is so thoughtfully designed and so inspired... a space where you feel that the designer and host spared nothing and made the space as nice or even nicer than they'd make their own home.
The space is even more beautiful than it is in the photos...hard to believe thats possible. Every detail is gorgeous: the art, the tiling, the shower, cabinets, furniture, bedding, towels, etc. The bed is extremely comfortable with gorgeous bedding. Everything is sparkling clean. It is used only as an airbnb, so its not cluttered at all with any personal things. Its like staying in a very upscale hotel room!
Sara's house is on a very quiet street in a safe, pretty, family neighborhood. At night the bedroom room is dark and very quiet. They live in their beautiful house right across from the airbnb space. But the space is very private.
Sara and her husband are amazing hosts. They're there if you need them and answered any questions right away. They're also very happy to give advice on where to eat or what to visit in Portland.
I cant wait to go back to Portland to stay at Grayhaus PDX!
