We loved this beautiful unit. It was spacious and comfortable and convenient. The host was extremely responsive. I highly recommend this unit if you have a group needing a comfortable place during a visit to Portland.
This apartment was even larger than the pictures and description indicated. We appreciated a ground-floor bedroom for those of us with older knees, and everyone else had plenty of room upstairs. The kitchen was well-appointed and the back deck lovely for morning coffee.Having the tram so close by was super convenient for getting to the touristy areas, but there were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.
Our group had a great time at this clean and well stocked home. Very functional and comfortable for our group of seven. The host was extra helpful and accommodating.
Lovely duplex. The location was unbeatable: a block from a food cart pod and (for us) an easy stroll to our conference hotel. We felt right at home. Information we wish other reviews had mentioned: ***the light rail outside is loud even with light foam earplugs and you feel might feel vibrations in the home, which can feel kind of startling when you’re trying to go to sleep***black out curtains in bedrooms wild be a useful addition. Or at least bring a sleep mask that’s better than mine — which is usually sufficient for me ;-)
We had our family Thanksgiving here and it was more than we hoped for! The kitchen is so well equipped and spacious - everything we needed was there. Plenty of room for our family of five.
A couple buddies and I were in town to see the Timbers play and this was the perfect home base for our adventures around the city. Tons a great food and bars right around the house and an easy walk to the rest of the cityscape.
We are here for a family wedding. This place is on a street car line which made it convenient (and slightly loud-ear plugs are available, nice touch). The townhouse is perfect for a family. Nice decks, well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and big enough common spaces for all of us.
The house is right across the street from a street car stop, easy to jump on and go anywhere in downtown Portland. The house was very nice, only complaint is the upstairs gets HOT. A/C in
The home was wonderful and had lots of space to celebrate Christmas with family. The kitchen was large and easy to have 3 or 4 in, to cook. It was great and the hosts were very responsive and friendly. The location was near everything and lots of places to shop and eat nearby. I highly recommend you rent this home for your stay in Portland.
Beautifully decorated luxury condo. Loved the handwoven carpets and the super-soft towels. Everything was the highest quality, and Saabi's communication was clear and promt. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Pam. We were very fortunate to have such respectful guests such as you!
Very clean, well supplied with care. The house is conveniently located near everything we needed.
Saadi is personable and available to help in any way.
This place was deceptively large and so accommodating. We were so pleasantly surprised with the comfort, amenities, and spaciousness of the house. Definitely keeping this one in mind for the future!
We absolutely loved this unit. Great location, beautifully decorated, incredibly well stocked, super clean. Beds were comfortable. Back yard was a little piece of paradise in the center of a city. Great communication. Exactly as described.

Convenient location
The place was great in general. Nicely decorated and clean. However the downstairs shower has a water leak and every time we used that shower we had to clean the bathroom afterwards. The location is great and walking distance to so many restaurants, bars, the MAX and the trolleys. However it is very noisy especially for the bedrooms facing the street.

Thank you Yousra for your frank review & for treating our home with respect. We are not living in the house on a daily basis to assess problems immediately but our cleaner does let us know as soon as something comes up. Nothing was relayed to us about a leaking shower during the last clean! However if it was something that occurred during your stay I encourage our guests to always reach out to us so we can take care of it ASAP.
As for the noisy bedroom , you are traveling to a dynamic City which is served with one of the best transportation systems in the country. So having such accessibility to everything you'd want to experience, along with a house that can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests would be a rare find and somewhat expected to have a little noise from the light rail across the street ( which stops operating at 11:30pm).
I hope you understand and carry some happy memories back from Portland.
This property was a great choice for our group which was attending events at the convention center. Light rail is on the same block so an easy 20 minute journey back and forth from the convention center. A bit noisy as a result, but nothing too loud.
Host was also very accommodating, some of the members of my group were arriving earlier than others so we were able to check in early.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had three middle aged couples and it was more than enough space. The ktichen had all we needed, the dining room was spacious for all of us to play games, and the beds were comfortable. The noise of the "train" across the street did not bother us at all and the area was walkable or a short Uber ride to everything we needed. We only used the upper balcony for one afternoon, but that was another perk! We decided we would definitely stay there again if we go back to Portland. Fun long weekend at a great place!
