Neat spot in downtown Portland

We had a great time. Four golfers in our 50's. Great place. Clean and well maintained. Close to campus so it was crawling with food options. Easy check-in / check-out. Thanks for a nice stay.

Comfortable stay

Our recent stay here was great. The rooms themselves were incredibly spacious, providing ample space for our group to spread out and relax. A major highlight was that everyone in our party was able to have their own private room. Everyone wanted to stay longer.

A hidden gem in Portland

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 2 seniors) had a wonderful stay in Portland. The house is like the TARDIS, bigger on the inside than the outside. And having a parking spot was very convenient. We also enjoyed having a patio and a balcony. The kitchen was well stocked, there were spices in the pantry, paper products, etc. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in all bathrooms. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Check out the food trucks a block from the house. Great selection of food.

Great spot for college visit and blues festival

Our party of 5 (3 adults 2 teens) stayed here for 4 nights over the July 4th holiday. House was spacious and well located. Kitchen was well appointed and bedrooms were all nice. There were nice touches like places to put luggage and clothes, which is sometimes limited in rentals. We were in Portland during a heat and house was very comfortable. We loved the oasis on the back porch- lilacs were in bloom and we enjoyed all our morning coffee out there. Food trucks right around corner were super convenient. It was a 5 minute walk to PSU and about 20 minutes to waterfront park where music show was located. Public transit is really good so we did not need to rent car. Like every place we’ve stayed in a city center, the house does get alot of noise (traffic) but after the first night it was not too much of a problem as you get used to it. We would definitely stay there again.

It's the house from UP!

Stayed here with some friends for a 'hang out'weekend in Portland, and the space was ideal for us. One of my friends made the connection to 'Up', where this quaint looking house stubbornly hung on as the city grew up around it. It is conveniently located. Uber's to everywhere were in the $12-14 range. Check out process was also relatively pain free as far as minimal cleaning expectations. Plenty of space inside. The kitchen seemed decent, and there is a full set of china available if you wanted to spend a holiday or something in town and host a nice dinner. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was that the listing does not make it clear that this rental is half of a duplex. My friends and I were out more than we were in, so it didnt really bother us, but there is a shared wall, so...something to keep in mind.

This is an excellent VRBO and we would certainly return. Beautuful house, well appointed, and easy check in and out. A real plus that's not listed, the TriMet stops literally outside the door of the house. Made it very easy to get around town and even better, to and from the airport for 5, what a deal!

Wonderful host and would book again! The location next to the cheerful tortoise and food trucks is top notch. Groceries and transportation is a block away.Should be noted that this is a part of a duplex and that there is only one available free parking space. That wouldn’t deter us from booking again!

A Portland gem

A group of colleagues and I rented this property in connection with two conferences, which were held at the conference centre on the other side of the river. The property was an excellent choice. It's huge (compared to my apartment, at least), very well equipped, and spick-and-span. It's also in a great location. It's a short walk to Pioneer Square and an even shorter walk to the nearest tram stop. Additionally, the owner was very helpful. I will definitely try to rent the property again if I return to Portland. Highly recommended.

We were a group of adult friends in town for a music workshop and had a great time. The location was convenient for us (there is light rail stop literally across the street), we found shops and restaurants nearby that met our needs and the neighborhood was fairly quiet. What we loved most was that the apartment was spacious and comfortable (just like in the photos) and we found everything we needed in the kitchen for coffee-making, cooking and serving our meals. Bedrooms were large with comfortable mattresses and bedding, with one on the ground level and three on the 2nd floor. However, the bathrooms are not handicap accessible if that is a requirement for your stay. The host offered many helpful suggestions too and responded quickly when I had a question. I would stay here again!
