Carissa's place is amazing. I wasn't familiar with Portland before coming and was worried it would be too far from anything, but I was surprised to discover the exact opposite of that. The house is a beat away from downtown, plus there are so many amazing spots in the general vicinity. Carissa was such an accommodating host, so helpful and easy to communicate with. On top of that the house is one of the nicest places I've stayed in. I'm sad I can only rate it five stars, because it's worth so much more. thanks Carissa!
