Dont recomend
The house had a terrible sour smell. We would have tried to move but we are seniors were exhausted after unloading and kept hoping the smell would get better. it didn't The oven didn't work the front lock would not lock up. There is only one small mirro in the place on the medicine cabinet. We chose this property because they said no pets. We hoped to sit out on the porch and have coffee. However the neighborhood cats took over the front porch, we are allergic. Should screen porch in. Very dissappointed

North Portland stay
The house was well stocked. However the second bedroom could use some work. Mattress was creaky and uncomfortable, pillows were worn and flat. Bathtub gels were barely full and there was only one washcloth.

Quick and fun
This small house provided a great location for visiting nearby family, grabbing coffee and pastries in St. Johns and sleeping soundly. My partner even presented on a webinar from the kitchen table during our two-day whirlwind visit. House is small, but very habitable. We appreciated the coffee-making options and the bedroom air conditioning.

A good choice in a safe, family neighborhood
A very comfortable 1909 cottage in a friendly, mostly owners, quiet ‘village’ neighborhood just a few blocks from St Johns village center.
Beds were comfy with high quality linens. We spent hours relaxing on the porch, watching joggers, dog walkers and the many assorted neighborhood cats!
Agree with another reviewer that the claw foot tub should be mentioned as some may find it hard to use.
Great bus service to Hayden Island, etc.

Very nice place
We really enjoyed our time here. The weather fluctuated from 50 degree days to 85 and the A/C did struggle to keep up with the sudden hot spell. But the house was adorable and old-fashioned and comfortable. Safe and clean area. Very cozy. The bathtub is a problem for anyone with a disability or mobility issues, however, so bear that in mind when booking. We would definitely stay there again, but our friend with bad knees would not though she loved the area.

Charming place!
St. John’s is a perfect town with a beautiful park Cathedral Park, great restaurants to ick from. This house was a great location and darling cozy home. The back yard table was broken but not a big deal. It’s fun to go in to Portland for a few hours then come back to the suburbs and relax. We stayed 3 nights. This was perfect for that purpose. Lots of nice extra info in a binder, games, books, great kitchen supplies, Smart TV all much appreciatedj. Part of our special mother daughter trip to Seattle & Portland!
