Great city trip and biking

My daughter and I had a wonderful weekend exploring Portland, rented bikes and saw the light houses. The apartment is adorable, spacious and quirky, exactly as you see on the pictures. In walking distance to downtown. Would stay there again.

Friendly Host Okay Stay

The host was very friendly and did as much to help but amenities fell short. Between coming back to an unlocked house even after using the code to lock ( the lock/latch was faulty) and not being able to access moves in the evening the frustration of the two took away a star. If those two things were in place I would have given four stars. The location is an easy walk to restaurants and shops by the ocean. I would not recommend walking to downtown as it was dirty stinky, and had an overall depressing feeling. I hope it cleans up and opens more inviting family friendly stores. I wouldn’t have felt safe with my children there at night but the newer stores and the Old town near the water felt safe at night. We walked to Scales and enjoyed a great meal.

Great location

This place is in a great location, close to many things in Portland. There is a cute little coffee shop just blocks away. Both beds were super comfy. There isn't much seating in the living for 4, just a couch and wooden bench. The shower doesn't give much water pressure and there isn't anywhere to put your toiletries as it's a single pedestal sink so that was a challenge with 3 girls. It could of used some additional cleaning also.

Great place!

The apartment is adorable and well appointed-even cuter than expected. We found plenty of on-street parking right in front of the house for both cars. The only complaint was the comfort of the sofa bed (pull out couch). If there are fewer than six of us heading to Portland, we will definitely be staying here again!

Cute place nearby to some things. Could use a few more lamps and the bathroom needs ventilation (couldn't open the window). Overall very happy with our choice! Owner left maps and recommendations which were very helpful.

Great Location : Great Host

Traveling from Boston. Quick getaway for 2 of us, just wanting to eat good food and relax. The apartment was the perfect location for someone who doesn’t want to stay in a hotel. The Danforth. Smalls, and Ruskies were all walking distance! 3 of my favorite places in Portland. The beds were super comfortable and the owner was 100% on point with anything I needed! I would definitely rent this location again.

Very meh property

The advertisement for this apartment is somewhat misleading. To begin with we arrived late at the property and did not have the correct check in information. Jason was available to help us with the check in but there were no lights either on the porch or inside the apartment. There was no drop box for keys. The apartment is not clean as people have suggested. There is mold over the shower, one of the ceilings in the bedroom is falling. The well equipped kitchen only had two coffee mugs and one had chips. Overall the apartment appears grungy and grimy and needs a big upgrade to justify the amount of money the hosts are requiring. As others have mentioned, there is nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom and the hook to hang a towel is falling off the wall. There is one bedroom upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. Unfortunately the bathroom is upstairs and you have to climb up and down a rather steep staircase. We did not take advantage of the many shops and restaurants in the area so we can’t comment on that.

Far from a 5 stars hotel

The location was great! The bed room were great to,but we had to chare,because the hide bed was not usable,the mattress was only springs ! The bathroom sealing was flaky. The screen dor had no screen! And finally the stove had a gas leak!! The owner had excuses for all those problems. Not a great experience for our first time with VRBO

Great location and nice beds but not much else

Walking distance to all the downtown areas. However, the bathroom had mold, lamps were broken or missing, fixtures were broken and there is not a comfortable chair in the house. No place to sit outside either. Sent 6 different emails to the owner before and during the stay with simple updates or requests and he did not respond for one week. The dishwasher was broken, the freezer handle was broken off, smoke alarm was sheared off the ceiling and many broken or missing light bulbs and lamps. Overall, pretty disappointing accommodations and host. Would go back to Portland again but would not stay here again.

Great Location

I stayed with my daughter. I thought the location of this apartment is great. Lots within walking distance, and neighborhood felt safe/was quiet. Parking was a little tricky, spaces on the street seemed to fill up in the evenings. We had to park up the street and around the corner two nights. The layout of the apartment is different. One bedroom and a small living room are downstairs and one bedroom, the bathroom and kitchen are upstairs. I agree with other reviews that the stairs are steep and would not be great for younger kids or anyone who has trouble with stairs. Beds were very comfortable. Couch was comfortable as well, though it is the only seating in the living room other than a wooden bench. If we had more than just the two of us it would have felt crowded and I would not book this place for more than four. The bathroom could use a little attention. The pedestal sink was quite loose and pulling away from the wall, peeling paint, patched and unpainted walls and mildew on the ceiling over the shower. That said we fond the apartment was clean!
