Comfortable, quiet property with convenient auto access to grocery, downtown & Burnside bridge.

Manager went the extra mile in locating indoor pool for my husband; just sorry it didn't work out. Operating the thermostat was tricky but it kept the property comfortable. Kitchen well supplied with cookware, flatware, glass & dishware. Large & efficient washer & dryer. Well-furnished, private & safe accommodation.

Enchantment in Portland

My adult daughter and I were thrilled by the clean, inviting accommodations. The place was spotless! It provided comforts of home. Nice comfy beds, equipped bathrooms and extra amenities and snacks for any needed items missed in packing while traveling. We would like to return and call this our home away from home! We enjoyed exploring the area and will look forward to our return!

Cute place in safe neighborhood

We stayed in the super cute place for a trip to Oregon to check out the area. Everything was super clean, beds nice and comfy, and lots of snacks upon arrival. Loved that this unit had a washer and dryer as well. Had a few small hiccups that were quickly resolved. Jim and Shannon are amazing hosts and go above and beyond for their guests! I would definitely recommend this rental as A+. We felt very safe in this quiet little neighborhood.

Central location and very clean

This property is centrally located to downtown Portland, the south suburbs and Vancouver. It is inviting and felt very comfortable to relax after all day site-seeing! The kitchen, bathrooms and rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. You are not walking distance to groceries or entertainment, but can enjoy a pleasant walk to a mini market and neighborhood bar. Shannon was excellent in her communications and very responsive. Check-in process was super easy, but don’t get nervous if the code doesn’t come within the 24 hours mentioned. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

This was a great place for us to stay while doing day trips in and around Portland! The home was clean and very well equipped! The hosts were very responsive with any questions during our stay and we were happy with the quiet location. The furnishings were all updated and the bedding was very comfortable - which is not always the case! If you’re looking for a comfortable home base in Portland we highly recommend!

Felt Like Home

This place deserves a higher rating than 5. We slept like we were in our own beds. Mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable. The unit had all the items we needed for entertainment, eating and relaxing. The location was convenient to the Pearl District, Powell's Books, Portland Japanese Gardens, Pittock Mansion, with a pleasant scenic drive to Haystack Rock and Silver Falls, also several venues for concerts. The owner communication was by far the best I have ever had renting a VRBO.

Perfect All Around

My husband and I came to Portland to visit family for Thanksgiving. This home was perfect…great location, very clean, great layout, and comfortable. I love to cook and cooked everyday we were there. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, but for me I just needed a few extra cooking utensils since I was making a Thanksgiving meal. There was even spices and all the oils I needed which made it really nice not having to buy those for our visit. Everything was so clean and fresh. The sofa and beds were super comfy. Location was great! My aunt, who lives nearby this home, always joked that everything is 15 mins away. Well, she was right….everyplace we wanted to go was just about 15 mins away. The farthest away was 20 mins to St. John’s for Sparrow Bakery, but the drive there was beautiful. The owners were great. Very responsive. We had just a few minor things we needed and they were very quick to accomodate and so nice. I’ll definitely stay again next time I come back to Portland.

Quiet Convenient Duplex

The duplex is located in a quite neighborhood with quick access to the Hwy 26 and 217. Although a duplex, the units have a bit of privacy from each other. The couch and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cook ware. There is a small area outside the dining area with a table and a couple chairs but this is not a VRBO for outside seating or relaxing. This is about the space inside and it is very nice inside indeed. Hosts Jim and Shannon were quick to communicate and have a VRBO that I highly recommend.
