We were the first guests in the Loft and we loved it. It was exactly as described on airbnb. Large, clean, and comfortable. It was newly renovated and whoever did the renovation work did a great job and used quality materials. Michele graciously left us a bottle of wine and some great ground coffee. The bed and sofa were very comfortable (we did not need to convert the sofa to a bed). The location was great - wonderful neighborhood and a very short walk to Laurelhurst Park, which is beautiful, and Whole Foods, Crema, City State Diner (which we loved), and other shops and restaurants. It was 15 minutes by car to Mt. Tabor. We found especially useful the fold-out Streetwise map and the book on 50 Walks in Portland that Michele provided. The logistics - communicating with Michele, getting in and out of the apt, etc., were completely smooth. The other people in the house were very quiet - no noise issues at all. The front porch was lovely and would be a big plus in the spring/summer.

The Loft was an ideal home-away-from-home and we would certainly stay there again. We highly recommend it.
