This Laurelhurst loft was bright and clean as advertised, but also so comfortable and homely and beautifully decorated. It was just perfect for our family of 4. The thoughtful touches of our hosts on our arrival was unexpected but really appreciated after our many accommodation stops over the course of our holiday. The kitchen was stocked with pantry staples, plenty of kitchenware, a large fridge and oven which means you could cater during your stay however we chose to take advantage of the cool eats of Portland. The local guides were fun to browse through and helped with the first night restaurant plan. The location of this property is excellent. We chose it for its proximity to the Hollywood train line to get into downtown but ended up having a car. We were able to park right outside. The grocery store is walking distance. The neighborhood is gorgeous and well worth a morning walkabout. Whilst the home is right near the freeway, you don’t notice the noise inside. It is attached to the hosts home but there is a separate entrance. We would have been happy to chat with the hosts however we didn’t see them during our 2 days. That said, communication was warm, helpful and always quick. This Airbnb was a cut above the other rentals we have stayed at. We hope that many others get to enjoy this space and location.
