Lovely home and great location. We stayed for 2.5 weeks due to a home emergency and we appreciated that the host was very accommodating to our changing schedule. Beautiful yard/garden area, and the home was bright and airy.

Very happy with our stay. It is the second time we have stayed at this location. It has a nice garden, kitchen, and artwork. It's in a quiet neighborhood but close to the Sunday farmers market and Alberta Street district, which includes the Last Thursday street fair.

Great Location

We had a very nice stay. The location is excellent. It is in a quiet NE neighborhood, but, within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and a weekly farmers market. The backyard garden space is a pleasant hang-out spot.

This is an extraordinary apartment, full of light, beautiful artwork, comfortable space and great chef's kitchen. The apartment was exactly the way the listing showed it, and the host was receptive and timely re: questions we had before arriving. Although we didn't need it, a nice feature was the names and contact info for neighbors and friends we could contact in the event the host wasn't available. We were very familiar with the area, having lived down the street for more than 10 years, and didn't need the information about restaurants and related things in the area, but it would help to have someone go through the instruction/guide book and update and reorganize it.Were originally concerned about whether the Murphy bed would be comfortable, but were pleasantly surprised that it was more than adequate.By far one of the nicest apartments we've rented on Vrbo, and we would definitely rent again. Thank you, Karen, for making your beautiful home available to us!

A Portland Gem

Exceptional artistic home in beautiful neighborhood featured a unique backyard retreat that made this our best VRBO choice in many years. A cook’s paradise! And the owner,Karen, anticipated the needs of her guests and provided many luxury items such as the fluffy bath towels. She also kept great contact to make our stay a true pleasure.

Perfect Place to Stay in Portland!

We loved our stay at this property! Situated in a very nice neighborhood, this beautifully designed home was clean, spacious, and very nicely updated. It had great appliances, furnishings, and decor. The highlight was the wonderful garden, with nice seating, sun and shade, and an amazing array of plants...We could have sat out there all day, enjoying the fragrance, watching the bees hard at work, etc.! On Sunday we enjoyed the farmers' market, just a few blocks away. And the host, Karen, was great! Easy to reach, clear communications, etc. We look forward to a return visit!

A lovely getaway!

This property was even better than we anticipated. As described, the kitchen was well stocked with any cooking or baking equipment that we could possibly need. The unit was spacious, and the backyard was incredible! There was a comfortable space to sit surrounded by roses and the smell of lavender and sage. There was also some very hot weather while we were in Portland with a high temp one day of 100 degrees. The unit cools down so well at night, that we didn't even need the air conditioning! I would definitely stay here again if/when I am back in Portland.

The place is beautiful. It is a secluded luxury in the arts district. Karen is very responsive, professional and accommodating while residing faraway. There are no complaints here. The place is as pictured. It was a treat to see her paintings on the walls. Her kitchen is that of a chef with its tools and appliances. I loved her espresso machine and enjoyed a delicious espresso everyday. If you are there at the right time of year you have access to the sweetest and most tasty green figs in abundance (plus tomatoes, rosemary, mint). Staying there does feel a little like a taste of France. ;-)The area is a lively and cultural area with lots to see. Art, groceries, ice cream shop and loads of restaurants are all in walking distance. Irvington Park is in walking distance and offers lots of green space. I’d definitely stay again as well as recommend highly to friends. Thank you Karen.

Secret garden

Actually, the photos and description were inexact. I walked up the steps and opened the tall wood gate into my secret garden! I was gap mouthed! Totally secluded with privacy fence. Well, the photos do not do justice. It’s beautiful. I had a bbq in garden with family. Plenty of room and there’s not one Big Green Egg, but two! I used the small one for our six steak salads. Photos do not show windows on W wall, nor the great skylights… even in the beautiful bathroom. I never had a problem with on-street parking nor did any of my guests. The kitchen is way beyond well equipped. Best VRBO kitchen ever. The app were better than my own kitchen. You’ll gasp at the spice drawer. There’s even ziplock bags! The Murphy bed was surprisingly very comfy. The place was very well dressed. I was sad to leave…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Karen is an excellent communicator—was very helpful—especially great for us as we have never been to Portland and can’t wait to return. We loved being able to walk for a meal, to the Farmers Market etc. We will be back.

Beautiful place in a great location

My husband and I loved our time at this property. The house was very clean, had everything we needed (WiFi, cooking equipment etc.) and the backyard space was absolutely beautiful. Also, the location can’t be beat - it’s in a great neighborhood, in walking distance of a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and breweries, and is in biking distance of downtown. You won’t run out of things to do! Karen was so helpful and made our stay exceptional! Would highly recommend this property.
