The house was great for two families looking to stay together. Plenty of room to spread out, but also come together for meals or to hang out. Within close driving distance (1.5-2 miles) of restaurants, ice cream, shopping, kayaking, etc. There are a handful of restaurants and coffee places within walking distance, and we took advantage of one of them one evening. The house was clean, and host was very responsive. We appreciated the early check-in and easy check-in/out process. Parking was better than expected as we were able to park two cars on the street in front of house the entire time.
There is no ac on the first floor; fortunately the downstairs stayed fairly comfortable even when temps hit upper 80s. Window units on 2nd and 3rd levels keep the bedrooms cool. Be aware the mattresses on the two bunk beds are very thin. It was ok for our younger son, but not ideal for a longer stay with older kids. The owner did mention this might be a watch-out in advance, which I appreciated.
Overall a great house in safe, convenient location with a lot of charm. We had everything we needed for a fun trip to Portland!
