This was our first experience with AirBnB, and it could not have gone better. We took the train into town and were able to first walk to meet Liz and drop off our things before exploring the city by foot. Our room was exactly as described, and we had an easy time coming and going. Liz is a very helpful host and gives good tips about brunch spots and things to do around the city, and she has some very personable pets! It's a quiet neighborhood, but there is a bus line right around the corner that goes directly downtown in about 15 minutes (if you visit in the next few months, just note that the city has temporarily moved the stop to a spot slightly obscured by a chain link fence). All in all a great and convenient way to experience Portland, and I recommend staying here!
