This home was perfect for our stay in Portland over the holidays. The home’s location is ideal. It is within walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants, and coffee shops. Unfortunately, we did not get to explore the area as much as we would have liked, as the weather was not very cooperative. We had a car, as we were driving back and forth to my sister’s house for the holidays, and street parking in front of the home was no problem at all. The front porch and yard looked fabulous, but it was too cold for us to use them.
The house itself has character, is charming and adorable, clean and nicely stocked without being overly cluttered with unnecessary items. The living space was perfect for our family of 4, and the kitchen was equipped with what was needed to make breakfast each day. There is one bedroom with a queen size bed on the first floor. There is not an attached bathroom for that bedroom, but there is a full bath with a tub shower right around the corner from that bedroom. The other two bedrooms are upstairs. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other is the master suite with a king size bed and a spacious bathroom with a stand alone tub and a large walk-in shower. The person who sleeps in the second bedroom upstairs does have to either use the master bath or the bathroom on the first floor. There is a washer and dryer in the basement, but they were not available when we used the home due to some plumbing issue that the owners were correcting. The second floor did get quite chilly in the evening, but the weather was unseasonably snowy, icy and very cold for Portland, so we completely understood.
Ginger was very timely in her communications with us. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in Portland. I would highly recommend this home and would certainly stay again.
