  This property is a true gem. The interior is clean and filled with light. The yard is lush and well-kept. The neighborhood is filled with fantastic cafes and interesting shops. There are great parks nearby for a jog among the trees or a trip to the playground with kids. It's easy to navigate the local neighborhood and the larger city by public transportation. The owners are a delight. My only sadness is that once others discover this property, it won't be available for us the next time we come to Portland! Truthfully, I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  My wife, 4 year old son, and myself had a fantastic stay the house while on business in Portland. The owner coud not have been more accommodating. The house was clean and comfortable with all the amenities that we needed... including internet, cable and a washer and dryer. The neighborhood is also fantastic with great restaurants, shopping, bars, and playgrounds all within walking distance. all in all a superb experience.
