Gorgeous interior! More spacious than even the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the large dining table as well as the provided work desk. The location was very central, which was great for getting to and from various Portland destinations. Everything was within 10-15:min, with OMSI even closer. Parking was a little tricky: this house isn't in a neighborhood or anything like that, but rather on a pretty busy street,very close to an interstate exit. There's also a tenet downstairs (separate entrance, no problem at all there) and duplex neighbors.

Perfect Home Base

A couple buddies and I were in town to see the Timbers play and this was the perfect home base for our adventures around the city. Tons a great food and bars right around the house and an easy walk to the rest of the cityscape.

Great location

We are here for a family wedding. This place is on a street car line which made it convenient (and slightly loud-ear plugs are available, nice touch). The townhouse is perfect for a family. Nice decks, well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and big enough common spaces for all of us.

Beautiful place in a great location

The home was wonderful and had lots of space to celebrate Christmas with family. The kitchen was large and easy to have 3 or 4 in, to cook. It was great and the hosts were very responsive and friendly. The location was near everything and lots of places to shop and eat nearby. I highly recommend you rent this home for your stay in Portland.

Perfect, walkable location and SO much room!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had three middle aged couples and it was more than enough space. The ktichen had all we needed, the dining room was spacious for all of us to play games, and the beds were comfortable. The noise of the "train" across the street did not bother us at all and the area was walkable or a short Uber ride to everything we needed. We only used the upper balcony for one afternoon, but that was another perk! We decided we would definitely stay there again if we go back to Portland. Fun long weekend at a great place!

Safe and convenient location for convention-goers

This property was a great choice for our group which was attending events at the convention center. Light rail is on the same block so an easy 20 minute journey back and forth from the convention center. A bit noisy as a result, but nothing too loud. Host was also very accommodating, some of the members of my group were arriving earlier than others so we were able to check in early.

Convenient location

The place was great in general. Nicely decorated and clean. However the downstairs shower has a water leak and every time we used that shower we had to clean the bathroom afterwards. The location is great and walking distance to so many restaurants, bars, the MAX and the trolleys. However it is very noisy especially for the bedrooms facing the street.

Concert trip

Our stay was fantastic! Easy and smooth check in, check out process. The place was big enough for 3 moms with teenage and adult kids, very comfortable. Our time was spent shopping and enjoying the city of Portland. Very good location for transportation on the public transport. Host and hostess gave a list of to do's and were very imformative. Our only wishes were that we had more time!! Thank you for our safe home away from home. Julie

A very nice stay!

This property was very clean and access to everything (in the house) was very easy - with thoughtful notes/directions around the house. I really liked the 2 outdoor sitting areas (one on the 1st floor and a second large one on the 2nd). This was my 1st time to Portland and there is definitely a homeless problem in this town but we did not have any issues. The light rail is right across the street from the house which was nice, but we chose to use Uber as the trips went much faster. Thanks to our host who was very thoughtful and responded to any questions I had super quick :-)

Very comfortable

We had an excellent stay at the house. It's hard to find a 4-bedroom rental in Portland and this location was perfect. The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. The house was exactly what we expected. We did find it a little difficult to get up over the curb to the parking spot. There is no driveway cut for the parking spot, which is right in front of the house. But we had an overall very positive experience.

Great location, very nice house, accommodating owners, but quite a bit of noise.

House is very nice, comfortable and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay over the Christmas holiday. Great location downtown, easy walk to many restaurants, bars and Pioneer Place/Market. Light rail and buses go right past the house so easy access to public transportation and two of our party took advantage of the light rail and had some fun adventures. However, the convenience of the light rail also meant a great deal of noise all night long and early each morning. I am a very light sleeper and even with the earplugs provided (which was considerate of the owners) the noise kept me awake. After reading all the other reviews I understand this has not been a major issue for others, but I felt it was worth bringing up. Some places I would recommend if you are new to Portland are the Duck House restaurant, (right next to the house) for very good Chinese food, the Portland City Grill (specifically if you are there over the Christmas holiday, but the views are amazing no matter what time of year), the OMSI museum (we’ve been there twice, a year apart, and both exhibits were fantastic), Petite Provence French bakery (absolutely delicious everything!), Pioneer Market for shopping and an incredibly unique store called Paxton Gate (two locations in Portland) is worth visiting! Ask for AnnMarie, she’s an excellent salesperson.
