A great perch overlooking the river and the city. We were really grateful to borrow a leash since we forgot ours at home.

Evolve was kind & responsive. House seems clean enough. The kitchen had all the things needed for cooking. There was a nice coffee/tea station. There is a nice view of the Columbia River from 2 kitchen windows. The deck is down stairs overlooking the Columbia River, it’s not particularly private because of the large windows that are the residents. When entering the front entrance (to your space) on the right is the OPEN stairs up to your living room tho to the left is a locked door with a deadbolt that has a key hole from your side. That would either mean the tenant can unlock it from the residence side with either their own key or thumb turn…I don’t know what they have tho fire code for a residents requires a thumb turn so they can exit provided rental doors . Evolve says this is secure tho it can’t be to be a legal exist. We had no issues tho it was unsettling. Please read the reviews back to 2016/ 2018 …this is how long work has been happening in the third bathroom. Another review stated a dislike of the decorative masks in the stairway …they are bothersome & it makes no sense to me why the owner wouldn’t just take them down? By the way, the library with the pull out couch is actually the living room. Reviews have also mentioned the need for window coverings.. tho still not provided in the living room that can be used for sleeping. A clear stepping stone path & sign would be helpful to lead guests to back entrance. Evolve please encourage the owner to fix these items.

Goonies getaway!

Great location just a few blocks from the Goonies house in Astoria - perfect place for a fan to stay! Beautiful property, perfectly situated near grocery store, nature trail, places of interest yet still quiet and peaceful.

Overall was a nice place, BUT… Needs more window screens (wanted to have a breeze but bugs wanted to come in), also needs curtains in the kitchen (setting sun was right in our faces). Could have been cleaner (especially the oven), and no dog doo in the backyard where we parked would have been nice. Was still good for the price.

Excellent place to stay

We were in Astoria for a four day music festival. We didn’t spend a lot of time at this house. However, when we did we were extremely impressed by the updated furnishings. The view was amazing. We will definitely be coming back.

Quiet peaceful

It was a quiet peaceful stay… didn’t like that bedsheets and pillows were a little worn and smelled like it was just used by someone else and not washed. It was just a place where we slept and showered.

Big hill to climb. Should have got a taxi.

Beautiful view of the river right from the huge windows in the kitchen. The view from the front porch is nice. I’m glad we were in the upstairs apartment. The furnishings were perfect for the style of the house. The family downstairs stairs were very sweet.

A Peaceful Weekend Away

House was extremely clean and well-organized. Everything we needed was on hand and easy to find. Communication was great and the check-in and check-out processes were very simple. The house was in a quiet location but just a few blocks off the main drag, easily accessible to restaurants and shops. And the best part was the sea lion lullabies! Those suckers are LOUD. Would definitely stay there again!

Overall good experience

The property could have been a little cleaner. Dog poop in the yard and cobwebs up high (we do understand they are in hard to reach places) and on the patio. We did find a big spider in the house. It was a great location and a fun old house in a quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again for sure.

A Peaceful Retreat

The house was extremely clean, well-organized and thoughtfully arranged. Everything we needed was on hand and easy to find, and what a delight to have a full kitchen! The house is tucked away from the main part of town, but easily accessible via walking (if you don't mind a few hills) or driving. We occasionally heard the tenants on the lower level, but the noise wasn't bothersome and didn't last past 8pm or so. Beds were all very comfortable, even the pullout. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Old Victorian

Old Victorian home converted into an apartment. Furniture is old and worn out. Mistresses very uncomfortable. Lots of stairs to climb.

Great view, spacious, nice furnishings

Near the top of the town, close to restaurants and shopping. Tenants live downstairs and were quiet most of the time; sometimes we could hear them talking, but that's to be expected in an old Victorian, and that means they could hear us. We have only one complaint: when walking from the parking area to the back stair entrance to the apartment, one needs to walk across the back lawn, and the flagstones that could be used are half-buried and not flat in the lawn, which has ruts and holes that one has to be very careful not to twist an ankle on.

Family fishing trip

Charming Victorian style decor. Quiet and comfortable. We found that the kitchen was cramped. Preparing food was difficult as there was only minimal utensils. Lots of steps to access home. Not recommended for older folks to climb. Beautiful view from kitchen! Repairs needed in bathrooms. Downstairs neighbors were great! Pleasant enough, but pricey for what we got in return.

Lovely Victorian in quiet, scenic location Tue

The Painted Lady earned her name for the vivid blue exterior which stands out in a quiet NE neighborhood overlooking historic Astoria and the Columbia River. The second story apartment has high ceilings, multiple tall windows and a Victorian ambiance. The kitchen and is a wonderful place to gather around the dining table for good food, conversation and views of the marine traffic below. Except for the dim bedside reading lights, it was perfect. Come prepared with food and drink because the closest grocery stores and restaurants are a minimum of a 10-minute walk away.

The Painted Lady needs a face lift

First the ok - the property was in a quiet neighborhood with great views from the kitchen. The coffee and tea supplies were abundant. There were lots of towels, bedding and the beds were comfortable. Now the not so good - when we arrived, the ensuite bathroom in one of the bedrooms had no functioning tub/shower and we were not advised of this prior to our arrival which we would have liked to have known about. The place needs a good, thorough deep cleaning. We wouldn't stay here again.

We loved this sweet old space so much. It was easy to find and directions were clear for parking. The tenants below were quiet and I hope we were the same for them! We arrived at night and the key codes did not work for the front door (which is recommended when you first get there to enter this way), but the back entrance with less stairs to enter worked great, we were nervous for a moment! It's incredible to have three people and three bathrooms available, two of them full. We did the bridge crossing 10k race and we were very wet and cold afterward, and being able to take a shower and warm up in different bathrooms was amazing. We did not use the kitchen much but it was spacious and the views are beautiful. We loved hearing the sea lions call with the windows open. This time of year in October there are a lot of garden spiders all over the outside of the house just to warn anyone who might have a phobia, we did fine but we had to dodge them a little at different points when we would leave the house. We all felt like the beds were comfortable and we slept well. We did snuggle up one night and use the TV and Netflix account which was appreciated. We will absolutely come here again!
