This was a really great place overall. The place was very cozy and well-appointed, with SO MANY thoughtful touches (e.g. fresh flowers, popcorn, tea, water filter, etc.). I kept finding little surprises everywhere (board games in the ottoman, robes in the closet, etc.). The bed was very comfortable, the shower was nice, and the place was EXTREMELY clean.
It's very obvious that a lot of care went into setting this place up and still goes into maintaining it. The neighborhood is mellow and quiet, not really walking distance to any businesses but very close to the rest of NE Portland by car. Beautiful location right across from a park and the surrounding neighborhood is filled with trails great for jogging/walking. Jeni & Debra were great with communication and responses.
The only constructive criticism I had is that there was an essential oil diffuser that filled the space with so much fragrance that I had an allergic reaction (not a normal occurrence for me) and had to place it outside, and the wifi was spotty at times (though this can be a problem anywhere any time). I already shared this with the hosts and they said they'd address both, which I trust wholly considering how meticulous and thoughtful everything else was throughout.
Two other things worth noting for those who are very sound sensitive (I'm not) are that there is a train line a block or two away so you sometimes hear a passing train (though I actually liked the sound and found it soothing; it wasn't super loud) and the adjoining property is under construction (they didn't start before 8a though, and this is obviously a temporary situation that only immediate guests would want to consider).
I would 100% stay here again. So many Airbnb's feel like cheap, thrown together rooms out to make a buck, but this one is clearly a labor of love with guests well-considered. Thank you, Jeni & Debra, for a great stay in Portland!
