• Poor Rating

  2/5

  We have been renting from VRBO, and AirBnB for the past 15 years in Portland, as we have family in Portland, and have never had a problem!I have complains about this place. First day, there were ants all over the kitchen area. We had not left any food out. The water coming out of the kitchen sink was trickling, no pressure from the faucet. We were supplied with only one spoon and two forks, one glass for water. I had to go buy more glasses (drinking and wine) and left them there. I had to ask for paper towels, hardly any on the roll.Something was off in the refrigerator . Anything left tin the refrigerator became frozen. i.e. milk, butter, cheese etc...Be sure to use a flashlight to get in and out at night. The light over the door does not always work. We were disappointed the owner did not do a better job with kitchen utensils. This place seems very "tired"! The only good thing was a comfortable bed. Very disappointed Clients!

• Great cottage

  5/5

  This was a nice little cottage stay. The host was great about texting me the info about the place prior to the stay.

  Place was in a great location and walkable to some restaurants.

  Definitely will stay again next time I’m in Portland.

• Lovely place

  5/5

  This was a lovely little place perfect for one person. I was able to walk to a bakery, a couple of stores, and a couple of restaurants, which is always a bonus.

• Spacious, but needs a boost

  4/5

  The location is great. There’s a nice, grandma quality to the place. The garden was lovely. It’s hard to let natural light in without omitting your privacy since the wall of windows faces more rentals and the street. The kitchen and bathroom need a little tlc and modernizing. The plastic electric kettle was filthy and worrisome since the plastic is old and worn, I couldn’t get it clean enough to use. The toaster albeit cute, is for one very small piece of bread, too small for bakery bread or anything else. It was comfortable otherwise.

• Quiet and well located

  4/5

  A large studio with tall lofted ceiling. Comfy bed and great shower. Perfect location to walk to restaurants and shops and even Convention Center, but just out of the way enough to be quiet and feel safe. The interior is a bit dark (few windows and a wall of glass facing the driveway that is generally shaded and doesn’t feel private when the drapes are open). There are plenty of lights and a nice ceiling fan, however. The single table in the space is small for more than one person. Must choose between using it to eat or to work. The kitchen has a minimal. It’s a studio, so no huge expectations on my part for table space etc. All in all it was a great place to spend the week while at a conference!
