Convenient Location and Full Amenities

I couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay for our 4- night family vacation to Portland. It was on a relatively quiet street, a quick walk to Congress for restaurants and the Museum. Our stay included jaunts out to explore the coastal region, and then had an enjoyable place to return to. Kitchen was very well equipped. Much thanks for sharing your wonderful house!

Perfect!

The house was a unique way to enjoy Portland. It was within walking distance of just about everything and the street was adorable. It had all the charm of a historic home with all the modern amenities. Our family instantly felt comfortable! The owners left clear instructions for using washer and dryer, the kitchen, and the locks on the doors. She was also clear about what we could use, which I really appreciated. They have an amazing collections of games and a wonderful breakfast nook to play them in! I would recommend staying here and hope that we have the opportunity to do so again in the future.

Great Portland townhouse

This property has a well equipped kitchen, large dining room, living room with flat screen TV, and private back patio. It had plenty of space for our group of 3 couples. Downtown Portland, restaurants, and activities are within walking distance, yet the neighborhood is quaint and residential. This was a great base for our vacation and felt like home when we returned each evening.

Food for thought

Place is nice. There is 3 floors. 1st floor is lr, dr, kitchen. 2nd floor is a bedroom and a full bath. 3rd floor has 2 bedrooms 1 full bath. Negatives- No crib available; only mattress Lots of stairs. Stairs are at an incline so it could be a challenge. Grill - only 1/2 working The place is not for someone that stays up past 8pm and wants to have a nice time during vacation- neighbors get annoyed at any type of noise- inside and outside. Parking is a challenge unless you are the only guest. One of the bathrooms is out in hallway Bathtub a challenge for someone that has problems getting in/out of tubs with no handrails Positives- Within walking distance to anything around town. Comfortable and homey place Kitchen is well equipped. Nice little patio
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul, 2021
What a shame that the renter did not ask for a crib in their correspondence prior to arriving. Had they let us know they needed one, we could have easily set up a “real "crib or a pack and play. Our property manager would have been more than happy to accommodate had they let her know. It is very true that, as described, our house is on 3 stories. Please be aware that the stairs do go up (and down, too!). I am sorry that the grill was not working fully when this guest came. We have replaced the grill. It was working when we left and since no other guests mentioned that it did not work before they got there, unfortunately, we did not replace it until we also found out that it was not working correctly. We DID hear from our neighbors about one instance in the nine weeks we were gone when they had to ask our renters to keep down the noise. I was not aware of which party it was until I received this review. For future guests, we must request that you not bring large and loud speakers to set up in our back yard to play music loudly. This is our home and people living nearby are our neighbors with families and work in the morning. You are welcome to have a nice time during your vacation in our home, but we ask that you take into consideration that this is a residential area and not everyone in the vicinity is on vacation. Parking in our driveway is as it is described in our listing. There is off street parking on a first come first served basis. There is on street parking with restrictions during the week. There is street parking half a block away that has very few restrictions. There is also a parking garage 1.5 blocks away where there would be absolutely no challenge in finding a parking place. The powder room in our house is in the front hall as it is in many homes. There is and always has been an ADA approved handle in the 2nd floor bathroom which is mentioned in the description of the house as well as in the information left for all renters. It is a claw foot tub typical of the era in which our house was built. There is also another full bath on the third floor which has a standing shower which is easy to enter as well as a separate jacuzzi tub.
