Weekend Wedding & Japanese Gardens

This is an excellent VRBO and we would certainly return. Beautuful house, well appointed, and easy check in and out. A real plus that's not listed, the TriMet stops literally outside the door of the house. Made it very easy to get around town and even better, to and from the airport for 5, what a deal!

Wonderful host and would book again! The location next to the cheerful tortoise and food trucks is top notch. Groceries and transportation is a block away.Should be noted that this is a part of a duplex and that there is only one available free parking space. That wouldn’t deter us from booking again!

Neat spot in downtown Portland

We had a great time. Four golfers in our 50's. Great place. Clean and well maintained. Close to campus so it was crawling with food options. Easy check-in / check-out. Thanks for a nice stay.

Comfortable stay

Our recent stay here was great. The rooms themselves were incredibly spacious, providing ample space for our group to spread out and relax. A major highlight was that everyone in our party was able to have their own private room. Everyone wanted to stay longer.

A hidden gem in Portland

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 2 seniors) had a wonderful stay in Portland. The house is like the TARDIS, bigger on the inside than the outside. And having a parking spot was very convenient. We also enjoyed having a patio and a balcony. The kitchen was well stocked, there were spices in the pantry, paper products, etc. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in all bathrooms. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Check out the food trucks a block from the house. Great selection of food.

A Portland gem

A group of colleagues and I rented this property in connection with two conferences, which were held at the conference centre on the other side of the river. The property was an excellent choice. It's huge (compared to my apartment, at least), very well equipped, and spick-and-span. It's also in a great location. It's a short walk to Pioneer Square and an even shorter walk to the nearest tram stop. Additionally, the owner was very helpful. I will definitely try to rent the property again if I return to Portland. Highly recommended.
